Which browsers are best for privacy?

An open-source privacy audit of popular web browsers.

https://privacytests.org rate Brave as the best browser.

That’s just browsers with default settings. Firefox doesn’t have a built in ad block, so it will always perform worse in that test. I guess FF + ublock origin + hardened settings (such as arkenfox) would perform like brave, if not better. For example, if you check android browsers, you see that Mull (a hardened fork of Firefox) performs great, even without ublock (that you can install as extension anyway).

Isn’t that enough (default part). The vast majority of people won’t change defaults.

Yes, I think that’s the point. Most browsers can be hardened, easily or not, but only few have actually good defaults.
