Brave Software has announced plans to deprecate the 'Strict' fingerprinting protection mode in its privacy-focused Brave Browser because it causes many sites to function incorrectly.

      My dude, the privacytest website shows that librewolf is a better browser than brave, and when you told me (I think it was you lol) about the brave employee running it I thanked you for that info and began looking for alternatives.

      I did the coveryourtracks test, which to my surprise brave scores better than librewolf:

      So yeah, in my attempt to make a more fair comparison I only ended up with results that make brave a better browser lol.

      There is nothing wrong with pointing out the conflict of interest, but that should be followed with at least some alternative being suggested if you don’t want to bother into looking whether the data is false or misleading.

      Edit: I will also state that I don’t know if there is another conflict of interest going on in the EFF though.
