With everyone pitching in to be purposefully helpful, are there any other
privacy based browsers for macOS or Windows that others know of?

 To help out, I just wrote up this table for interested users to correct.

 On the mac there is also Orion Browser which blocks ads and trackers by
default but I think it's still in deep development but I'm not sure.

There's also the DuckDuckGo web browser, but I've never used it so can't say if it is any good or not. The browser itself is free, but for the extra VPN services it costs a monthly fee.
