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…

    Several months after first publishing the website, I became an employee of Brave, where I contribute to Brave’s browser privacy engineering efforts. I continue to run this website independently of my employer, however. There is no connection with Brave marketing efforts whatsoever.

    Also sure, Brave blocking trackers is +13 points, and Tor not leaking your IP adress is +1… Same level of privacy.

      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.

        Bro, that is a really weird way of saying “I am fully aware that I am purposefully misrepresenting the data”

          I am not purposefully misrepresenting the data, I just present the data I found and I explained how they are used. If you have an idea on how to perfectly weigh these points, let me know.
