The project technically being independent does not mean it isn’t biased towards one browser.

It’s still unfinished, but he’s working on a tool for you to test your own browser. You can do so here:

It’s the exact same tests he runs, that are open source. Everything can be found, (if you don’t trust the guy) on his GitHub:

You can have open source software with a bias towards something.

You can but:

  1. There is no clear indication of bias, from PrivacyTests, just accusations.
  2. If the tools and tests ARE open source (which they are), they can be checked for bias/cheating. Someone could also expand (fork) upon them to give more of a rounded opinion.
