I just run Firefox with uBlock Origin, but if I was real tinfoil hat about this stuff I would go for LibreWolf, or just the Tor Browser.

Brave bugs me because I don't want my web browser to be a crypto wallet lol (also, the only cryptocurrency I actually have faith in is Monero).

Couldn’t agree more. I just wish there was an easy way to replicate Edge’s vertical tab implementation. I really like the way you can minimize the title and side bar so that you’re in an almost frameless window.

I’m also a proponent of running multiple browsers for different purposes. One with accounts logged in, known advertising ID with browsing patterns and history that, when shared, don’t have any adverse effects. Various others with additional protections but nothing too extreme.

you can disable that stuff...the crypto wallet stuff

I use FF with arkenfox/user.js

I think they're lacking explanation of what the data means.

This can be very nuanced, and dependent on your goals.

For example, in the context of fingerprinting, sometimes it's better to provide fake data instead of no data, because that itself can be a unique characteristic.

If I recal, this site is a side project by one of the brave devs but dont discount the results. Brave is decent these days but its not perfect across all use cases. For example, Mozilla's container extension is a very powerful privacy tool.

Whenever I try to use containers in firefox, they just randomly reset to the default 4 at some point down the road

Websites like these are kind of useless(sorry).

I wouldn't recommend Brave. Firefox is cool but is chromium is so far ahead.

Just use Chrome or Edge with uBlock. At Least those two have massive companies with incredible security teams backing them.

Remember, if you get targeted by an APT nothing will save you.

Wait, you legitimately think Chrome is the best browser for privacy?

What privacy do you have if some script kiddie could own you ?

EDIT: It's the best for security and can be enhanced for privacy. I'd say Vanadium is the best we have on android, but that's only available on GrapheneOS.

The people in this community hope for a world where an individual's informational footprints—everything from an opinion on abortion to the medical record of an actual abortion—can be traced only if the individual involved chooses to reveal them; a world where coherent messages shoot around the globe by network and microwave, but intruders and feds trying to pluck them out of the vapor find only gibberish; a world where the tools of prying are transformed into the instruments of privacy. There is only one way this vision will materialize, and that is by widespread use of cryptography. Is this technologically possible? Definitely. The obstacles are political—some of the most powerful forces in government are devoted to the control of these tools. In short, there is a war going on between those who would liberate crypto and those who would suppress it. The seemingly innocuous bunch strewn around this community represents the vanguard of the pro-crypto forces. Though the battleground seems remote, the stakes are not: The outcome of this struggle may determine the amount of freedom our society will grant us in the 21st century. To the Cypherpunks, freedom is an issue worth some risk.
