What you do not understand is that people like me admit that YES Vanadium is more secure and that YES we know that blocking via DNS level is great for privacy, but not as effective as Brave. Just look at privacytests.org and compare to you own browser privacytests.org/me.html ...

Its great that it's enough for you, but it's not enough for me sadly.

I'm using DuckDuckGo for the most part, it used WebView so most of the security should carry over. If you don't want to use a WebView browser there is always Cromite.

I tested both browsers for several weeks in a university fingerprinting study (I wanted to leave my fingerprint rather for academical research rather than at fingerprint.com).

The study measures the browser fingerprint based on e.g. navigator, audio, canvas, screen, plugin, connection, WEBGL, mathematical constants and much more.

The study determines whether the site:

  • has seen this fingerprint before
  • if you are the only participant with this fingerprint and
  • if you can be tracked uniqueliy over time

Without Javascript, both browsers performed equally well in my tests according to the standards of the university project.

With Javascript enabled, both browsers always left a unique fingerprint.

In the categories "seen fingerprint before" and "can be tracked uniqueliy over time", Brave regularly performed better in my case: Vanadium was trackable over time and could be assigned to my previous fingerprints which was not the case with Brave.

Better to do your own comparisons than listen to strangers on the Internet: https://browser-fingerprint.cs.fau.de/?lang=en

So for most things I use Brave, when I open sites where I'm more concerned with security than privacy I use Vanadium.

NightSky how do you harden Firefox nightly out of curiosity? Sorry for reviving an old thread lol.
