Tor browser, or Jondofox are another possibility.  I'm pretty sure
jondofox can be easily configured to go directly out to the internet
without using their network (not that TOR or Jondo network's are bad,
just too slow for many uses.  I do use both TOR and Jondo networks at
times) and the browsers (both Tor and Jondofox are based on firefox)
have been modifed  and hopefully spy features have been removed.
