Firefox updated today and I’m wondering why they don’t put Brave in this table, what’s your opinion on this? 🤔

Same for librewolf and mullvad browser, not so many people use it.
At least the Brave guy’s site included many popular browsers and not just the big 5.
It’s a comparison of mainline browsers - they haven’t included any forks in it.
Opera and Edge are forks.
Unfortunately true
But they didn’t start that way
No Internet Explorer either, and it has a bigger market share than Brave… Not everything Mozilla does is some evil conspiracy, they just put their browser on a table comparing it to its biggest competitors. Please go outside.

I am absolutely aghast that Firefox would say Firefox is the best web browser. Their chart is, however, open to external audit so it is entirely unimpeachable.
(This is a parody of people who were arguing in favor of an “independent” browser privacy website run by someone paid by one of the browser companies)
No mosaic or lynx either
Fingerprint resistance of firefox? Is more like somewhat…
You have to change a few things in about:config, disable webRTC and spoof:
But it’s the “best” OOTB alternative we can have rn.
You wouldn’t happen to have all those needed settings changes in a conveniently shareable list, would you?
I’m not able to copy/past my changes from my phone’s about:config but here is a great tutorial and most of the parameters I changed:

Keep in mind that to use about:config on mobile phone you have to use the beta, dev or nightly version of firefox.
Also this could and will break some sites, I don’t know how much you want to harden your firefox but here are the addons I use with Firefox:
+AdGuard home at the DNS level.

ICYMI: All the cool kids are using LocalCDN instead of DecentralEyes now.
Woho, Thank you for the tip :) will take a look on how it differs from Decentraleyes, except not being updated for a while !
I prefer Firefox(forks) but would also like to know what they’re talking about.
Maybe because it’s their most direct competitor? FOSS and similar features OOTB. Dunno, just guessing.
This just in: not everything is a conspiracy against your favorite browser with a sliver of marketshare.
This applies to Brave and Firefox users.
Not enough market share. Keep it simple. The one who use brave know about firefox. Grab the low hanging fruit
Sounds like locker room banter to me
No Vivaldi either.
