Actually a pretty decent review.

There is this though

When evaluating browsers, I weighted privacy and security HEAVILY.


(Bolding is theirs, not mine)

Then the review page contains googletagmanager, Facebook, and mediavine. Which are all ad/tracking services.

I don't agree with what they said, but everyone has opinions.

I know this is about desktop, but do not use ungoogled chromium for Android, it hasn't been updated in years.

The answer he gave was Firefox. But that seems out of date given their recent backtrack to not sell your data. His runner up was Librewolf.

It doesn't even mention when Brave silently installed their VPN as a service on your system. Which doesn't get removed when you uninstall Brave. And if you do manually remove it, gets reinstalled on Brave silent automatic update, because that's also a background running service.

This website honestly is too hard. Idk what those tens of categories mean and hard to see each one

It's a panel of tests for browsers. It isn't the clearest what each mean (without doing a little research) and not all categories and subcategories have equal importance. I still like this website though just for the listed information.

I think he sould have included Chromite. Regularly updated and a fork of the abandoned Bromite, which was a privacy-centric project. I still use Firefox, but also use Chromite.

don't like this

The Vivaldi source code is source-available, so you can view it, but the license is much more restrictive than an open-source one

Seen on LibreFox's website: Open-source tests of web browser privacy privacytests.org

Privacy reshared this.

@m33@theprancingpony.in I've been liking floorp and zen. used floorp for a while but i'm giving zen a real try for the first time in a while rn and I think it's my favorite implementation of vertical tabs.

Privacy reshared this.

more Blink-based browsers could have been included, there are some even there that are pretty good in privacy and security: top pick is Cromite (can be ran as portable, no install required, inbuilt adblocker based on editable blocklists, very agressive on tls certificate validation (more than anything, including librewolf), native userscript support, datetime and viewport size randomization on each website (i don't know any other browser that can do this), changing http referrer policy and more). Other recommendation ks Thorium (it is made by furries, has some google stuff in it, but it is open-source and constantly updated, though not as fast as cromite, that updates weekly),and Iridium, Falkon
