Like many others, I’ve been looking into internet browsers lately. This guy has put together a pretty extensive comparison: pctips.com/best-browsers

Yep, written before Mozilla's latest move, and doesn't even mention EFF's Cover Your Tracks or CreepJS for fingerprint testing. Just some vague descriptor of "Browser Privacy Test", which they have provided no links or details on.

They also just claim Tor is the penultimate privacy browser, when it isn't. Doesn't even mention that exit nodes around the whole world can be run by anyone, including 3-letter agencies and bad actors. I don't trust the testing of whoever this is, seems kinda lazy and doesn't cover all the angles that need to be covered when it comes to browsers.
