Hi there,

I read this article: https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/25/study-finds-brave-to-be-the-most-private-browser/

If you just want the result, the study found that used out of the box, Brave "is by far the most private of the browsers studied" followed by Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Brave is the only web browser that did not use identifiers that allowed tracking of the IP address over time and did not share details of web pages visited to backend servers.

Maybe Brave should be listed again?

This "study" is a fail and only compare connection's at browser startup which doesn't say anything on browser itself.

Also remember that Brave has it's own advertising program which i would call "Adware".

I would be open to that idea. I think more evidence is necessary, although this is a good start.

Duplicate of https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1806 where I said

Brave was previously removed in #1169 and there are still issues such as brave/brave-browser#3420 so I don't think it's inclusion can be reconsidered yet.

and I haven't heard of any big developments happening within ten days.
