Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.
The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.

Firefox isn’t privacy friendly at all

I’m really, really not up to speed on privacy stuff (sadly), though I do use some more secure options for some of my services.
I read somewhere that brave was supposedly just google in a trenchcoat, so I switched to Firefox (yeah…) because that was supposedly better.
Should I switch back?

Use something like Fennec or Librewolf

Now I’m curious how fennec stacks up. I’d imagine somewhere between Brave and TOR, since it still has addons and is thus susceptible to js fingerprinting. Ofc, you can also run NoScript as well, so that mitigates that issue, but it’s still not going to ever pass TOR.

I’d love to see how Firefox Focus and Orion rank.

No Fennec?

On a side note, I’m pretty sure the way that this site does the accept cookies thing is how whoever in the EU came up with the idea imagined it would be implemented.

What is the last one that doesn’t collect anything? I’m not familiar with that logo.

Setting Microsoft Edge rate the same as DuckDuckGo on this chart makes me doubt the quality of this study.

edge tracks user content while ddg doesnt. if you just rank by the height of the bar, different kinds of tracking get the same importance. But to me, tracking user content is between the worst kinds.

DDG isn’t private
