I’m a “most user of TOR for 14 years, which makes me a real “most user” and I use TOR to do LAW work, and search so I can keep what I’m working on PRIVATE!

And I’ve worked with say 60 others who do RESEARCH for clients, on TOR because the opposing gang, does not need to know, what, why or how they are going to get BEAT in a court of LAW, until it is Filed!
So only criminals use TOR, is a FICTION, that are being spread, about us LEGAL people, how’ed rather use TOR than NOT!

1) Browser Speed
2) Privacy (EFF’s Cover Your Tracks)
3) # Users (MAU and DAU)
4) HTML5 Compatibility (e.g. HTML5test.com)

Brave currently has the best privacy and security by several measures. It is the only browser that passes the EFF’s Cover Your Tracks Fingerprinting test and seems to be the most cutting edge with regard to innovations that increase privacy. Brave currently has ~59M MAU and ~18M DAU which small compared to Google Chrome and other leading browsers, but with them you sacrifice your privacy.

Some notes on Brave you could add to your article to help comparison-wise. For May of 2022 Brave’s MAU is 59.3M and DAU is 18.6M. Brave is the only browser that passes the Cover Your Tracks Fingerprinting test, and it does this by using a Randomized Fingerprint. Brave scores 528 of 555 on the HTML5test.com test besting most other browsers and certainly competitive with the best. Brave has had a growth rate of about 100% per year for several years now. If that growth rate continues it may break 100M MAU and 36M DAU a year from now.

If a browser is slow users will not use it. If it can’t successfully and usefully access the website user’s most use it will not be used. If a browser is not available on a platform it is irrelevant to the users on that platform. As far as privacy is concerned most users don’t dabble in browser setting adjustments. They either don’t know how or don’t want the complexity or the expense in time. This is another area where Brave shines as it seeks to provide maximum privacy and security with the least user disruption.. “out of the box” privacy and security so to speak. Brave is so effective that information miners are having to find new ways to get user’s data. Brave is driving the privacy movement and surpasses even Firefox in this. That is good for all privacy lovers and all users.

Please include Privacy/Securing test comparison most particularly EFF’s Cover Your Tracks in your next update.

Thank you for the article!

A reason not to use Tor: onion nodes are more likely to be blocked by a lot of web sites.

Really. It’s not hard coded. Takes almost 10 seconds to change.
