    Websites like these are kind of useless(sorry).

    I wouldn’t recommend Brave. Firefox is cool but is chromium is so far ahead.

    Just use Chrome or Edge with uBlock. At Least those two have massive companies with incredible security teams backing them.

    Remember, if you get targeted by an APT nothing will save you.

      Wait, you legitimately think Chrome is the best browser for privacy?

        What privacy do you have if some script kiddie could own you ?

        EDIT: It’s the best for security and can be enhanced for privacy. I’d say Vanadium is the best we have on android, but that’s only available on GrapheneOS.

      Actually. Zero trust and whitelisting applications can help a lot with APT typed malware. Because it doesn’t need prior knowledge of a threat to protect you from it.

      OK chromium PR team.

      This is a massive list of objective metrics to reference. And your entire reasoning is “big company = better”

      Nah.

The people in this community hope for a world where an individual’s informational footprints—everything from an opinion on abortion to the medical record of an actual abortion—can be traced only if the individual involved chooses to reveal them; a world where coherent messages shoot around the globe by network and microwave, but intruders and feds trying to pluck them out of the vapor find only gibberish; a world where the tools of prying are transformed into the instruments of privacy. There is only one way this vision will materialize, and that is by widespread use of cryptography. Is this technologically possible? Definitely. The obstacles are political—some of the most powerful forces in government are devoted to the control of these tools. In short, there is a war going on between those who would liberate crypto and those who would suppress it. The seemingly innocuous bunch strewn around this community represents the vanguard of the pro-crypto forces. Though the battleground seems remote, the stakes are not: The outcome of this struggle may determine the amount of freedom our society will grant us in the 21st century. To the Cypherpunks, freedom is an issue worth some risk.
