I dunno how I feel about this yet. While I think privacy is important, it comes at a price. Personally, I love the personalization I get from being tracked in various ways. I know I may be in the minority on that but I don't feel like I hav anything to hide.

I understand you, If I am getting content, I want it to be personalized. However most of the content that is personalized are ads. When browsers blocks ads, I don't see this disadvantage. Of course you might and that's absolutely understandable. That's why I wrote that there isn't the best browser, best one is one which suits your needs.

Love the article but I think there are a few point you forgot about firefox.

In terms of features it is good to mention:

  • Snap, save, share. The snap is very nice for taking screenshots of only specific places in webpage or the whole webpage beyond what is visible.

  • Default pocket integration for blog / new readers its a big plus.

I think it is also worth mentioning for privacy: Firefox Focus which is purely privacy base. with blocked tracking, auto tab close and more.

Also a good mention would be: Firefox Developer Edition with all the visual help for web pages and more.

Nice article. I'm assuming this article is more from the point of view of browsing experience and not necessarily web development? I've used Brave a couple of times, but never looked into their dev tools.
