Which browsers are best for privacy?
The person doing these tests works for Brave and doesn’t disclose this on the main page. He keeps spamming social media with his results and therefore this comes up time and time again. The main problem is that he refuses to test browsers which have been configured, he always tests them ootb. For Vivaldi this means ad and tracking protection is disabled, even though the choice of setting this up is presented to the user in the very first setup steps (one‐click operation), without the need to visit settings …
I wouldn’t take the results serious. If you want a sliver/the chance of privacy, you have to use Tor browser anyway.
Of course this is bullshit. One single Browser does not win in basically every category except this is an advertisement for said browser.
@Dirk @accentgrave, many are confused about what is important to privacy. These are not technical details or statistics (OS, screen resolution, language, etc.) that are important for the proper functioning of a web page, but personal data
It is always a compromise, if I activate all the protections it has, many pages stop working correctly. Privacy depends more on the search engines used and the user's common sense than on the browser(if other than Chrome/EDGE/Opera)
Sure many pages stop working but did you want to use those ones anyways? There’s a reason they break if the privacy stuff is turned on in your browser.
@teft, are dangerous if they put tracking cookies or use pixel tracking and other crap like Facebook and others do, keylogging like MS does, but not if they put simple cookies regarding your settings, the resolution of your screen, the language you use (which they see with your public IP anyway if you don't use a VPN), identical data so applicable to millions of other users too, this has as little to do with privacy as a municipal employee counting the ammount of cars that go by on a highway.
