The body of the article lists them, they just aren’t listed in the title.

My point was more about blatantly advertising more personal details that somebody wouldn’t learn just by seeing the color of your tshirt.

I am into OSINT so maybe my view here is a little more paranoid or biased.

But the “biased results” are

  1. Open source, you can review them for yourself, adjust them, and run them. I have reviewed the tests and they look good to me.

  2. The results don’t put Brave in first.

Beyond attacking the source, what critiques do you have of the tests themselves and the code? Are there any tests that should have been included, excluded, or altered to reduce bias?

Putting any sticker on your car is a great way to give free information out to people about yourself. Don’t give out free information to people about yourself.

Brave is open source. You can review and compile from source if you have privacy concerns.

To be completely fair, Mozilla is no angel. They installed extensions in people’s browsers without asking for permission, for example. No thanks.

Librewolf is my recommended go-to from a privacy perspective. And Brave is not horrible. If you look at Brave the company, they aren’t any worse than Mozilla the company.

And if you look at privacy features from a purely test driven point of view, Brave is better than Firefox, and Librewolf is better than both.

Librewolf > Mullvad > Brave > Firefox

According to the tests

I recommend you take a look at privacytests.org for iOS browsers to get a better idea of what browsers block what. DuckDuckGo has the best test results in iOS as of this post.
