They need to add a row for
“Owned by a foreign superpower”“Owned by the Chinese government” and a check for Opera.On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, that could be a point in its favor, depending on your threat model. After all, if you’re American, China can’t prosecute you for secrets it learns from Opera the way the FBI could prosecute you for secrets it learns from Google.
Feel free to test your fingerprinting resistance on a stock Firefox-install. https://www.amiunique.org/
be sure to run on top of linux otherwise…
Im just over here using firefox since it was still netscape navigator 2.0.
Another update? Okay
Honestly I don’t see the reason they put that there. I already own Firefox why are you trying to win me over?
Of these type of browser privacy comparisons the best I have found so far is https://privacytests.org/

I bet you hate Google doing self ads?
Yet this is also just a self ad. And spammy, because it pops open a tab, something browsers are supposed to suppress unless specifically enabled.This is a false equivalence.
If Google advertises the merits of their browser within their browser, like Mozilla is doing here, then that’s fair enough, I have zero complaints about that. Why not have a welcome page when you install the browser, highlighting the benefits of using your product?
If Google is utilising their other products to unfairly give themselves a leg up in advertising their browser, then yeah, I’m against that.
If I search on Google (the de facto standard), I shouldn’t have popups telling me to use Chrome. If I watch a YouTube video, Google shouldn’t be allowed to place Chrome ads there.
Same goes for MS relentlessly advertising Edge in Windows and forcing it into other Microsoft programs.
Those are examples of companies abusing their monopolistic market position to gain a business advantage, which is illegal. It’s nothing like Mozilla having a Firefox ad within Firefox.
