I’ve been using Brave for the past three or so years but I do know that Linux/privacy enthusiasts tend to swear by Firefox. Wanted to get people’s thoughts on this topic to see if I should be making a potential switch. Thanks!

It’s not necessarily bad, and I assume all the tests are legit, it’s just that someone working for Brave will have a bias towards writing tests for things that Brave does well (and on the flip side, Brave will make them take the site down if it makes them look bad)
I understand that, and what you say is entirely possible, in theory. On the other hand, I see that the tests performed there are pretty standard. I mean, there is nothing exotic that only Brave does well there and Librewolf shines as well. Then, c’mon, Brave surely had missteps in the past, but is generally know to be a solid choice with regard to privacy.
That said, there’s an open issue with the same concerns. Even if I’d say that nobody would complain about the employer of the author if Firefox came out with better score from those test…
