>HEADS UP! Large amounts of bitcoins should not be stored on your computer! If you want the most secure Bitcoin wallet then you will need to use a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano X or TREZOR T.

>You should always do research before downloading or installing any Bitcoin wallet.

>WARNING There are a lot of fake versions of Electrum out there. Make sure you verify you are installing the real Electrum by verifying electrums GPG signatures. See guides for how to do that on Windows and MacOS.

Wasabi: Bitcoin only. "Wasabi checks if there is a local Tor instance installed, and if so, it uses this to onion-route all the traffic to and from the network. If Tor is not already installed, then it is accessed automatically from within Wasabi. This means that by default, all network communication is secured from outside snooping and the IP address is hidden." From https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/why-wasabi/NetworkLevelPrivacy.html

Blockstream Green: Bitcoin only. hCaptcha on Support page.

Ledger Live: "On most blockchains, transactions must be broadcast via a node on the network, be it for Bitcoin or Ethereum. When you use Ledger Live, you are using Ledger’s corporate nodes to broadcast your transactions. Because of this, Ledger will know all of your public addresses and, therefore, how much Bitcoin you own." From https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/wallets/ledger-nano-x/

Bitcoin Armory: Cloudflare. Decline to evaluate as centralized tracker is involved.

Electrum: Bitcoin only.

Bitcoin Core: Bitcoin only.

1st Place: Wasabi

2nd Place: Electrum

3rd Place: you're fired

Ledger was recently hacked and now two-bit scammers are sending phishing attacks and outright threats to come to bitcoin user's houses.

There's no perfect solution for security. However, generating private keys for long term storage addresses on an offline computer is a decent solution. Takes a little technical know how and practice though.
