Whenever I see Brave as part of the list of browsers people recommend, I know it's astroturfed.

Because every time someone calls it out, there's an immediate reply of "Oh yeah you can turn off the crypto mining" or whatever security issue there is.

All info on that site is several years stale and the site itself is unmaintained (last update 2022; git repo permanently archived 2024). Many of the details are not reflecting current state of things and this page is not a good resource for comparing browsers in 2026 (except as inspiration for replicating their methodology^1^).

Konform Browser is to my knowledge the only up-to-date webextension-capable browser today with literally 0 phone-home / background connections under defaults, and no telemetry or other superfluous undesired activity ever. (disclaimer: am dev. I'm certain it would be ranking as top if such a ranking was made today. Come @ me ;))

^1^: Separately recently published container-based flow for doing this kind of analysis and doing similar comparison. There are some basic results and comparison included in readme but would be cool to see someone take it to the next step, drill deeper, share more exhaustive and educative results, present it in a format more digestible for non-techies (whether using this setup or something different).

Firefox got the same rating, and this was before they added FakeSpot, an ad network, and everything they advertised as AI.

What android browser yall using? I've been using waterfox but was using Brave till there CEO said soon pro-Trump stuff a while back.

Side note: this will be my last Android phone, plan on switching to the fairphone or a graphine pixel after this one.
