Funniest thing is, I read this after learning Chrome had a zero-day exploit, Brave might not even have the patch yet 😆
To be fair, on sites like privacytests.org Brave seems to pass more tests than default Firefox, but these tests don’t take extensions into accounts. Extensions wouldn’t add much to Brave since it’s a chromium browser, but Firerox should have better results with ublock alone…and then there are forks and ways to harden Firefox on top of that.
And of course it’s not taken into account how sus Brave is, if I remember right Brave search has already been caught spying on its users (and used word play to pretend it was open-source) and then there’s also the crypto scam. Passing most of the security/privacy tests won’t help if the browser is spying and exploiting you.
