Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections
No, https://privacytests.org/ is misleading, it shows only the results of the default browser settings - which absolutely nobody uses.
- In 2024, please switch to Firefox

Best Alternatives to Brave that randomize fingerprints right out of the bat?
So as far as hardened chromium forks go brave is the best and all there really is. For Firefox based hardened browsers unless you feel like manually hardened stock FF yourself, librewolf and mullvad browser (mull on Android) which leads me to Tor but with the drawbacks that make it less practical for certaint things mullvad known for their VPN that is is very bignin privacy so much you have nothing that ties to it like 99% of anything now days as yoi have anonimity bcnyoinoau with cash-crypro-or use a voucher no name email address phone number bank etc to sign upso they partner with then tor project and made a clearnet version of tor hardened fingerprint resistant as well as cookies scripts ect multiple identity proxy and built-in security that tor has standard safer safest with no script uBo and and their VPN and dns to take the place of tors multiple relay and encryption that is the tor network with no telemetry you hide in plain site as all the other using it look like you. You can n use this browsers like you would brave or your "main' so history bookmarks passwords etc but that defeats the purpose IMO but librewolf is also very hardened fingerprint resistant focused but you can use it like were using brave and still have the privacy and security and convenience. I use all 4 with different search engines depending on what I'm looking for or doing and of in have to use chrome then ungoogled Chromium on desktop and cromite on Android (fork of bromite which lost support from the devs) mull brave and cromite on is what in use on mobile. This isn't a complete list as FOSS for mobile has quite a few to try these are my favorite, Firefox focus on Android is Worth mentioning too. Sorry for the incoherent book. https://privacytests.org/

Most "secure/private" browser that is still somewhat mainstream/compatible?
librewolf https://privacytests.org/ for ios/android brave all the way https://privacytests.org/ios, https://privacytests.org/android

I'm almost done with edge
careful with brave https://www.ghacks.net/2023/10/18/brave-is-installing-vpn-services-without-user-consent/?amp https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/33726 among other things like the most popular browser compare site being owned by brave employees https://privacytests.org/ i guess when they say privacy they mean it, keeping things private from you too

Why Bother with uBlock Being Blocked in Chrome? Time to Switch to Firefox
https://privacytests.org/ he eventually disclosed his employer in the back area of that website somewhere so thats better i guess.
another one is how certain settings on brave search always reverts back on. or just one the send analytics one. if you use search on a different browser not their own. and etc.
and firefox is funded in large part by google.. do you really think they dont share information?
honestly acting like your browser is superior because no tracking is so silly lol. just use whatever browser you want and tune settings to your liking. harden if you must and move on. is it that much of a hassel? would you rather pay subscription for no tracking?

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
https://pi-hole.net/
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).
