    For every cool privacy feature in Brave, there's something else that makes me want to firewall the application away from my system.

    Brave is pretty good privacy wise. However, I don't like Chromium based browsers, as it just feeds into their monopolistic power over other web engines. It's good, but I would like it if it would use their own engine, WebKit, Gecko, XUL, or any other engine besides Chromium.

    Mullvad Browser is made in collaboration with Tor.

    It is probably the best browser (other than Tor Browser) to mitigate fingerprinting, by giving everyone the same fingerprint.

    Mullvad is a fast, paid VPN that encrypts traffic and hides your IP but relies on a single provider. Tor is a free, decentralized network that routes traffic through multiple relays for stronger anonymity but is slower. Mullvad suits streaming and torrenting, while Tor is better for untraceable browsing and accessing onion sites.

    Ecosia has a commendable mission, but a very poor privacy policy. It's less private than LibreWolf, which is itself less private than Mullvad Browser (all Firefox forks).

    Thorium is just a fork of Chrome. It doesn't provide a connection over Tor or any real privacy protections.

    Also something weird about a suggestive furry easter egg.
