I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

The tests are made by a Brave employee. Biased enough that everyone shouldn’t trust the results.

The tests are open source, I don’t think there’s any bias in the results.

But the “biased results” are

  1. Open source, you can review them for yourself, adjust them, and run them. I have reviewed the tests and they look good to me.

  2. The results don’t put Brave in first.

Beyond attacking the source, what critiques do you have of the tests themselves and the code? Are there any tests that should have been included, excluded, or altered to reduce bias?
