https://privacytests.org rate Brave as the best browser.
I’ve been using Firefox for years, and recently switched over to Brave because it was able to provide a unique fingerprint result on EFF’s fingerprint tool. Even if I used the same plugins, Firefox had a unique fingerprint.
I ignore all the silly crypto and ad bs. Why should I use FF over Brave
@Ado @Linus_Torvalds The main reason I prefer FF is diversity of engine. Brave is based on Chromium, as are basically all other browsers but Safari. FF still uses their own rendering engine, and provides superb privacy as well. Given that @leo is also a proponent, I feel comfortable with #firefox.
If I were to switch browsers, though, it would be to #bravebrowser.
FIngerprinting is not super easy. E.g. you might have a ‘unique’ fingerprint with FF but if it changes every time, than I would consider it actually a privacy feature. Did you have the same addons installed on BRave and FF while testing (as Addons play a part in Fingerprinting)? And finally: A lot of fingerprinting techniques can be blocked before they even start (no JS, …). I feel like your opinion is rather one-sided.
As to why FF> Brave: Basically the Chromium argument. Diverse engines are better for the health of the web.
