Like many others, I’ve been looking into internet browsers lately. This guy has put together a pretty extensive comparison: pctips.com/best-browsers

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.
Seen on LibreFox’s website: Open-source tests of web browser privacy privacytests.org
Good article. I use Brave on desktop and android. I like that the adblocking is baked in. I still have to add my favourite addons but that’s the beauty of personalization.
Quick question: is the Tor browsing functionality in Brave adequate or should I just stick to the official Tor browser in that regard?
@soyboy77 Tor browser is a dedicated tool for the job, you should use it if you have anything related to tor use cases in mind.
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 But that seems out of date given their recent backtrack to not sell your data.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.
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.
