    Or even better, a fork of Firefox which disable all that telemetry crap and bundle with uBlock Origin : LibreWolf.

    Firefox rules, people need to smarten up. Hell, Firefox on Android has an Adblock extension. Firefox is what’s up.

    Appearently brave is the most privacy focused browser. At least according to this paper from 3y ago.

    https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf

    Edit: guys I know that Brave is not the best browser and I wouldn’t recommend it, but I haven’t seen studies or in depth articles about technical details of privacy concerns.

    And I’m not being sarcastic, I wanna see them so I can make a more informed opinion.

    how exactly does chrome not respect my privacy?

    and i don’t just mean “because it’s google and google is an ad company”. what specifically is it sending to some internet server that firefox doesn’t? both the firefox and address bars send what you type into them to a search provider. as near as i can tell, firefox’s committment to privacy is to say “we protect your privacy” while doing all the same stuff that chrome does.
