      Exactly I’d even use Chrome before I’d ever touch Brave.

      And yet it uses less RAM in Android phones compared to my goat, Firefox… Man FF needs a lot of improvements, all my complaints come from Android, the browser is perfect even on macOS!

    I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.

      Yeah i just checked the video and it appeared for like 2 seconds as a side note. He never even tried Brave apparently.

    What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.

          Yeah but he was never claiming to be. I don’t think he made any direct recommendations in the video.

          Just him documenting his own journey de-googling.

    Brave? Hard no. Vivaldi? Also no.

    Also, where are qutebrowser and Zen?

    qutebrowser and IceCat are real top of the game when it comes to privacy. But then, they break some of the sites functionality, especially IceCat who seems to be going under the “if your site doesn’t work, it’s your site’s problem” motto.

    … I don’t think listening to random big influencers is a good way forward (in anything).

    (As to the list - others already pointed out everything, y’all nerds know shit! <3)

    Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

    Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

    Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

    I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

    Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


    Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

    Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
