No it is not. Why?

- Browser fingerprinting protection? Nope

- No ads on start page? Nope

- Https everywhere? Nope

- Ad block? Nope

If you want to support firefox, download TOR browser.

Else, use brave. But please don't support further degradation of privacy in the web.

I'd like to correct myself: the new nightly build from Firefox supports browser fingerprinting protection:

And thanks for downvoting the original comment despite valid concerns and a link to the TOR browser.

> No ads on start page? Nope

You can set your own startpage

> Ad block? Nope

You can easily add an extension for ad block.

There are extensions/options for all of that, and they work well.

And why would I use Brave? It's just another chrome browser, so it isn't helping solve the monoculture in browser rendering. We had that problem when IE ran things, and now we're having it with chrome. Why do we put up with it?

The point isn't that Chrome doesn't do things to help privacy. But having a monoculture web built around Blink is terrible. We know this from experience with IE. Brave uses Blink. Chromium uses Blink. IE now uses Blink.
