2. It's interesting to see how much *does not* change when toggling Private mode on most of the Chromium browsers.
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.
@voltronic Interesting ,Brave seems to be one of the better ones
@voltronic Thanks for sharing!
Overdue for me it seems, removed Opera (I like the 2 workspaces) and trying Brave now - and Firefox is here to stay (I hope)
@arasaigh
If you like Firefox, try LibreWolf, a FF fork focused on privacy and security. I've been using it for a couple months now and it's solid.
@voltronic I will de definitely give it a try, thank you!
^ 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)
