Interesting. Wondered why results are displayed there as they are; the ones at the top look bad for Vivaldi, for example. Speaking of which Proton don't include Vivaldi. Perhaps as they have their own email client built right into their browser. Nope, I don't work for Vivaldi. It's one of several that I use.
It is not a comprehensive argument that "brave better", just that it sends less tracking information by default. Still, I think that's an important metric.
