    Websites like these are kind of useless(sorry).

    I wouldn't recommend Brave. Firefox is cool but is chromium is so far ahead.

    Just use Chrome or Edge with uBlock. At Least those two have massive companies with incredible security teams backing them.

    Remember, if you get targeted by an APT nothing will save you.

      If I recal, this site is a side project by one of the brave devs but dont discount the results. Brave is decent these days but its not perfect across all use cases. For example, Mozilla's container extension is a very powerful privacy tool.

        Whenever I try to use containers in firefox, they just randomly reset to the default 4 at some point down the road

    I think they're lacking explanation of what the data means.

    This can be very nuanced, and dependent on your goals.

    For example, in the context of fingerprinting, sometimes it's better to provide fake data instead of no data, because that itself can be a unique characteristic.
