^ Happy to see how well my preferred browsers (LibreWolf desktop; Bromite Android) did in testing.
Brave and Tor (based on FF) did well overall, as did Firefox in private mode.
Two things stood out to me.
1. Other than Brave, Bromite, and DuckDuckGo, the rest of the Chromium-based browsers performed quite poorly. What's surprising to me was that some of the ones that are supposedly focused on better privacy leak so much (Ungoogled, Vivaldi, Opera)
HN thread on this, with two exchanges I found interesting screenshoted below:

I have no real complaints about Brave.
@mcfate
I used Brave briefly, but stopped when they were auto-filling referral links to crypto trading. Glad to see that isn't happening anymore.
Do they still do the "rewards" for viewing ads?
You can turn all of that stuff off in the preferences.

2. It's interesting to see how much *does not* change when toggling Private mode on most of the Chromium browsers.
