Closed-source software absolutely can't "protect privacy".

That cucks from Brave Software just try to get over "ad networks" in collecting tracking data, not prevent it.

If you want get rid of "ad networks", you just need open-source uBlock/uBlockOrigin, and use Ungoogled Chromium or Firefox.

Firefox seems to be better for now, because you still could completely disable the dirty spying shit named "serviceworkers". It is a scripts that installed by web page and continue to run even after closing that web page or browser restart. Ability to disable serviceworkers was removed from Chromium codebase a year ago. You could check running serviceworkers you didn't know about by visiting about:serviceworkers in Firefox or chrome://serviceworker-internals in Crome/Cromium

The only browser with any real potential of privacy is tor browser. Most browsers offer privacy theatre and Firefox is the most insecure browser of all so if someone passes through that security all your addons if you already can't be fingerprinted by them are useless, this actually also applies to tor browser since it's Firefox based.

No. Tor browser is just a slightly tuned Firefox ESR. With all its flaws. Firefox engine allow fingerprinting by design, and to avoid it you have to completely rewrite its engine from scratch.

You have to be a skilled IT professional to reduce the tracking and fingerprinting in any Firefox-based browser to some extent, but it is impossible to avoid it completely.

If you look for a browser with real "potential of privacy", you had to take a look at browsers that is completely different from Firefox/Chromium and does not use a bit of its codebase. From console ones to something like NetSurf. Yes, you hardly will be able to use all that web2.0 crap like twitter/facebook/google/etc, but that is the point. If you don't get it and want to have, some heavy overbloated JS shit like gab.com working in your "private browser", you are completely failed from the beginning.

They’re 💯 trying to take away privacy. They’re outright stated this in their marketing materials. Their core competencies are “tracking users across platforms”
