much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Not a brave employee and barely affiliated with them. Also Firefox browsers come out on top still. Vivaldi is missing much of the fingerprint disception features of Brave or Firefox. It is also closed source meaning it isn't a good choice for privacy anyways. All around a shit take when it is obvious Vivaldi isn't built for anti-fingerprinting. I am by no means a supporter of Brave, I stay far away from it and its shit.
"This website and the browser privacy tests are an independent project by me, Arthur Edelstein. I have developed this project on my own time and on my own initiative. Several months after first publishing the website, I became an employee of Brave, where I contribute to Brave's browser privacy engineering efforts."
It is ~95% open source. The remaining 5% of closed source changes are to the web-based UI.
Does that change the fact that Vivaldi is not a good privacy browser? Its content blocker is weak, its based on chromium which is affected by MV3, it can't protect screen dimension fingerprinting, or canvas fingerprinting, or containerize cookies, or block 3rd party scrips and frames, or standardize specific settings like Firefoxes RFP, etc. Not a good privacy browser. Use a fully open source browser.
