Based on https://privacytests.org

Desktop browsers in their current stable versions, sorted from better (left) to worse (right). These are:

Librewolf, Mullvad, Brave, Tor, Safari, Chromium/Ungoogled, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Chrome.

Note: Each test is counted with a value of one in this chart, however each test may not have an equal importance in regard to privacy. It still gives an image of which browsers value privacy and which do not.

The maximum (worst possible) score is 143.

Edit: Also FUCK BRAVE. But for other reasons than these points. Read the description before you vote or comment ffs…

    People seem to really misunderstand this post. ONE TEST (POINT) IS NOT EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE TO ALL OTHER TESTS. I ask you to read the description and the information on privacytests.org before you vote or comment. If my description is not clear enough, please let me know how I can improve it to make it understandable (I am not a native English speaker).

    It’s not a “Brave ad”, geez… I am a strong proponent of Firefox.

    If anyone have any sources on the website being a bad source, please send me those. The tests are very reliable, you just need to understand the data points.

      Here’s how interacted with this post:

      • Title told me that “lower is better”. Assumption: it’s introducing the graph, I should look at it
      • Graph shows from left to right the best browsers for privacy. Assumption: they are the best for privacy, the title told me so

      Then I read the description. But I’m a data analyst, I’m used to look at the details. Most people do not. They want quick “tell me what’s happening”. It’s something you accept if you work in this field, the best DAs can tell their stories in just a few graphs.

      Tip: assume that people won’t read anything. They will just look at the graph. If each point is not equal, then your graph needs to show it. Looking at the source really quick, I maybe would’ve done a graph that shows points per category. It would need some work to look good and not cluttered, but that way you can let the viewer decide for themselves what they consider important and look at the points that matter to them.

      Take this as constructive criticism and not as a “gotcha”, I fall for this trap every once in a while too. Try to not be frustrated, it’s just how it is. Next time you’ll do a better job at passing your message

      If one point is not equal to another, why count the number of points? Why make a graph if not to show data in a meaningful way?

        I still think it it interesting to see that for example Librewolf gets a very low score in total and Chrome a very high one. I feel it does show something about all browsers, even though it is not perfect.
