  • Thank you so much for writing this, the mindless comments made me kind of depressed and I considered never posting anything to Lemmy again. :D But your comment made me think otherwise, and I should not forget that fanboys are not known for even reading the entire headline.

    I say this as someone who has always used Firefox and would never use Brave or any Chromium based browser. But that is just not what this chart shows.

    Your second point about taking things out of context is VERY true and I consider if I should delete the image for this reason alone. The image is not good without the description and the source link which explains what it means.

    Have a good day!


  • But as it clearly says in my description, one test point is not equal to all other points (there is no way to rank, some are obviously more important than others). I just don’t know how to weigh them between each other.

    The tests are legit regardless of where the person works, don’t you think so? Or do you think the tests are faked?

    If anyone knowledgable in privacy still chooses to use Brave, it’s their problem. Despite Brave ranking with relatively few points here in total, it is not a browser to trust because of their track record.


  • People seem to really misunderstand this post. ONE TEST (POINT) IS NOT EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE TO ALL OTHER TESTS. I ask you to read the description and the information on privacytests.org before you vote or comment. If my description is not clear enough, please let me know how I can improve it to make it understandable (I am not a native English speaker).

    It’s not a “Brave ad”, geez… I am a strong proponent of Firefox.

    If anyone have any sources on the website being a bad source, please send me those. The tests are very reliable, you just need to understand the data points.

    How is Firefox that high?

    How? Firefox 121 has that score because it “failed” on 86 of the 143 tests, you can see which tests if you go to the source.

    As someone already commented, Firefox actually lets a bunch of things through and has telemetry. But it can be hardened and it is (IMO) the best browser all-in-all.

    But it is not perfect.

    Please note (AGAIN) that 1 test (1 point) here is NOT equal to all other tests. But I have no way to weigh one test against another, there are 143 tests (points) to consider. I thought it was obvious but for some reason people chose not to read the description, or misunderstood it. Sorry if it wasn’t clear enough.



  • 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.
