  • I don’t really think it’s that simple. They currently have the best security focused AdBlock of any browser (built in rust, default to the browser, works on a higher level than ublock origin, immune to upstream changes like manifest v3, can clear persistent data for specific sites, has containerization modes for changing browser fingerprint on the fly). I’m hoping vanadium or ungoogled chromium (security nightmare btw even though it has no startup telemetry, but I do think it’s an interesting project for learning purposes) eventually adds brave shields to their browsers. The default settings aren’t great but the right settings config clears out all potential telemetry and phoning home.

    For what it’s worth, the grapheneos team agrees with me and considers brave to be the second best chromium browser after vanadium for security purposes 🤷‍♀️
