Looking into privacytests.org, the main developer behind it is someone who contributes to Brave source code. He may not be officially affiliated with the company, but it would be hard to ignore any sort of bias towards Brave.
(how do you tag someone here?)
I don’t think that that counts for much - I imagine someone that runs a website that provides privacy tests for other people, likes privacy. If you come across an option that seems very privacy friendly, and you had the expertise to contribute to it’s development, wouldn’t you?
Nevertheless; fuck brave.
Stop promoting brave, it’s a scam
Then share your sources here as well. I am not here to promote anything and personally i’m using LibreWolf right now. 💁♂️
Because products can’t fix their mistakes* right?
I get it that it’s something visceral that folks have with it, but at least be honest and say you don’t like it for what it (or who’s behind it) stands for, not because it actually isn’t private and secure right now, not in 2020.
*maybe purposeful and in bad faith, but they walked back on it, so I think it’s fair to be careful with it and not trust it blindly
This was garbage every time it was posted before, and it’s still garbage.
Some of these test cases don’t matter if you just use uBlock Origin.
