Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections
LibreWolf[1] is a Firefox-based alternative to Brave, and appears to pass more privacy tests[2].
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?

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
Vivaldi is closed source, even worse than Chrome in privacy features: https://privacytests.org
Brave is objectively the best mainstream privacy browser.

Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider
It seems like it's somewhat close (assuming uBlock Origin grabs most of the tracking query/content).
HTTPS Only can be enabled (it's still off by default) to score a few more points.
It gets better in Nightly and even more so in Nightly Private.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

Noob Firefox Nightly q...
But you can apply either Arkenfox's user.js or Betterfox's anyways, kinda defeats the purpose of using a test version but ok I guess
- Suggestions on hardening Firefox?

Must-Have / useful apps for windows
I would replace bloated Opera Gx with Firefox + hardened user.js Spotify can be anoying if you are using free option, you can use BlockTheSpot that can unlock pretty much every premium features. If it's not a big deal - just buy premium, I can't afford Spotify right now.

What browser do you use?
Firefox with modified Arkenfox user.js

Are you supposed to use Proton Tor server with Onion Browser?
It is not recommended to use Tor Browser through a VPN. If you want to reduce fingerprinting / privacy while using a VPN, use Mullvad Browser, a hardened Firefox (e. g. Arkenfox or Librewolf. On mobile you could use Firefox Focus or even better: Mull (Privacy hardened Firefox for Android).
