    These results surprise me quite a bit. I may have to reconsider my stance on Brave. I’ve just been using Firefox as I distrust Chrome, regardless of its skin. This makes it seem that Brave is doing a lot more under the hood to protect your privacy than I would have thought possible.

      The results surprised me too. I wonder how the results would look like if they tested a hardened version of Firefox like Arkenfox

        They did test librewolf. How does arkenfox compare to that?

          Ngl I forgot that librewolf is also hardened Firefox. The arkenfox devs say that librewolf and arkenfox are almost identical (scroll down to v97), so I guess they would have basically the same results on this test

      My objections to brave have less to do with privacy concerns and more to do with concerns that I have giving Google full license to be who develops the blink engine and determine the future of the web
