Like many others, I’ve been looking into internet browsers lately. This guy has put together a pretty extensive comparison: pctips.com/best-browsers
Seen on LibreFox’s website: Open-source tests of web browser privacy privacytests.org
The Vivaldi source code is source-available, so you can view it, but the license is much more restrictive than an open-source one
The answer he gave was Firefox. But that seems out of date given their recent backtrack to not sell your data. His runner up was Librewolf.
It doesn’t even mention when Brave silently installed their VPN as a service on your system. Which doesn’t get removed when you uninstall Brave. And if you do manually remove it, gets reinstalled on Brave silent automatic update, because that’s also a background running service.
Relevant website: https://privacytests.org/
This website honestly is too hard. Idk what those tens of categories mean and hard to see each one
It’s a panel of tests for browsers. It isn’t the clearest what each mean (without doing a little research) and not all categories and subcategories have equal importance. I still like this website though just for the listed information.
Thanks ;)
Actually a pretty decent review.
There is this though
When evaluating browsers, I weighted privacy and security HEAVILY.
(Bolding is theirs, not mine)
Then the review page contains googletagmanager, Facebook, and mediavine. Which are all ad/tracking services.
I don’t agree with what they said, but everyone has opinions.
I know this is about desktop, but do not use ungoogled chromium for Android, it hasn’t been updated in years.
I think he sould have included Chromite. Regularly updated and a fork of the abandoned Bromite, which was a privacy-centric project. I still use Firefox, but also use Chromite.
