@nixCraft Firefox is my default browser. But I've been using Brave and Mullvad when I need to connect to privacy-invasive services.

@canderson @nixCraft I don't get your use case. I'm not trying to give you advice or get you to ditch Brave, but I don't understand how Brave would protect you when you're actually logged in to a privacy-invasive service. Are you talking about the VPN built into the Mullvad browser, or about tabs containers?

@canderson @nixCraft brave over Tor used to leak your DNS. I think they patched it but I would trust Mullvad browser or Tor Browser if you are connecting to Tor. That being said, Brave is convenient in that the out of box Privacy settings seem to work well. My favorite part of brave is device syncing without having to give an email and create an account.

@will @nixCraft I agree! I rarely use Tor, my only concern is the abusive tracking by the ads companies to build your profile. For this use case, using a VPN or a service like NextDNS gives an additional layer of protection against the tracking.
