BTW: "this guy" on PrivacyTests is Brave Browser's Senior Research and Privacy Engineer, Arthur Edelstein.
You wouldn't know this unless you looked through multiple pages on multiple sites, especially when his coworker doesn't disclose this when praising his website, but it's worth noting.
Thanks, I'll edit the title
Littetally. I found it fishy that Brave suspiciously scored so well. Half of those browsers are just modified Chromium anyway including Brave, and Brave has made some suspicious marketing decisions which is why I dont really trust them. If you're curious look into their history involving crypto and advertising.
The only good ones I'd recomend are Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, and Tor. They're really the only ones that even try to combat fingerprinting.
