Just gonna leave this here… https://privacytests.org/

Edit: After reading the article I’m sceptical about a bias as the writer clearly misrepresented the lawsuit against Gawker by Hulk Hogan, which in turn puts the whole article into question.

Not saying that the allegations against Brave aren’t true, I’m just saying I wouldn’t trust a journalist who misrepresents the truth to tell me the truth.

Ah yes, links, the gentleman’s browser.

Jokes aside, I actually do use links to browse news specifically.

The guy who runs the site literally works for Brave. It says so in the about page.

Agreed, he could very well be biased even when trying not to be, according to FAQ, but the project is open source and he made it easy to clone the git for anyone to verify it that doubt his work.

the setting used for vivaldi on this test are worse than the default one, pretty bad source as the author tries to make brave look as good as possible
