It actually is, it comes with good fingerprinting protection by default.

That website is run by a Brave employee. And it skews its results in favor of any browser that happens to have an ad blocker.

Who is the brave employee that runs it? privacytest is actually a open source test that you can run in your browser and has its own repo.

Can you provide a source for the second sentence? After that, I can answer the first one.

Good fingerprinting protection != good privacy.

Alright what makes a browser good for privacy if fingerprinting does not count? (it does but I want to hear what you will say).

TL;DR: All chromium based browsers are shit. Switch to hardened firefox or librewolf
I am not sure what you understand under fingerprinting (you literally can get the same fingerprinting protection by enabling the resistFingerprinting configuration in about:config in Firefox). Also fingerprinting protection, by ifself, isn’t enough to make a browser private. Plus I am not sure how anyone can even trust Brave’s browser when they are sketchy as fuck. Not only did they do creepy stuff like url injection, but also now have those weird ads and they are also into crypto which is not a good sign. I still fail to understand why people won’t appreciate Firefox browsers. The same functionality can be achieved if you spend literally like 5 minutes on it. Is it an issue with being lazy or just being not informed about it. Though I still do not recommend the stock firefox you can get from the official site. You’re better off installing something like Librewolf if you are someond that looks into “privacy” out of the box or hardened firefox with arkenfox’s user.js for the most privacy you probably can get without breaking literally every website you visit.
