It's worth noting that PrivacyTests tests default configurations. If a browser has a good suite of privacy features but doesn't have them on by default, they'll score low on the benchmark.

Firefox, for example, can be hardened very well with options and extensions, but has many bad defaults (like Google default search with search suggestions on).

The site is all baseline, not potential. Not peak potential, not press a couple buttons potential.
