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.

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

Yes. I also have issues with their pushing of crypto.

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?

[–] viridian 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

gotcha. Thanks for the info
