Based on https://privacytests.org

Desktop browsers in their current stable versions, sorted from better (left) to worse (right). These are:

Librewolf, Mullvad, Brave, Tor, Safari, Chromium/Ungoogled, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Chrome.

Note: Each test is counted with a value of one in this chart, however each test may not have an equal importance in regard to privacy. It still gives an image of which browsers value privacy and which do not.

The maximum (worst possible) score is 143.

Edit: Also FUCK BRAVE. But for other reasons than these points. Read the description before you vote or comment ffs…

    Why does this site smell of marketing by brave listing all the things it can do but ignoring alternative privacy features?

    Do keep in mind brave installs VPNs without your consent, solicits donation on behalf of creators and won’t refund collected money, and diverts ad revenue from legitimate sites to themselves.

      Have you read the about page on privacytests.org? How is it a Brave ad (and not a Mullvad or Librewolf ad) when it is not even the best ranked?

      Let me cite what I wrote above once again, please read it: “Note: Each test is counted with a value of one in this chart, however each test may not have an equal importance in regard to privacy. It still gives an image of which browsers value privacy and which do not.”

      I am the OP of this and I do not use Brave and would never touch it because of the scummy crap they have done. But this is NOT what this graph is showing. The website linked is certainly legit.

        I’ve been looking to replace brave on mobile, do you have any recommendations?

          I agree with the other comment that Firefox is a good option (especially on Android). On iOS it makes less sense to use anything other than Safari since the web rendering is done by Safari regardless of which browser app you use. Safari can also make use of adblockers though, such as Adguard.
