Fight Over Privacy! Firefox and Brave Take Potshots at Each Other

Firefox put out some claims on their blog post, but it is not exactly how it seems. Do you agree?

this is like Trump vs Kamala all over again. Both suck but one is clearly “better” than the other.

they're both lying about the search engine. Both default to Google when you install them. And Brave is more easy to harden rather that Firefox. Brave's dependency on cryptocurrency gives them negative points. And personally, Luke Mulks doesn't have much respect from me.

On that privacy tests website, few entire sections that are shown red for Firefox, would turn green with uBlock Origin with privacy/anti-tracking filters selected.

I'm also surprised by ECH being marked as not supported. It should be on by default since Firefox 119.

Funny. Why don't test Ff and Brave yourself?

There:

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org
https://www.deviceinfo.me
https://browserleaks.com
...

Brave browser is, by default, better than Ff for privacy protection including fingerprint resistance...

With Ff there is a lot of job to reach the same level. This for example:

I liked and used Brave and moved to Firefox, then heard again of why one should not use either one? Now I use DuckDuckGo and find it less intrusive.
