Privacy Study On Web Browsers With Surprising Results

Privacy Study On Web Browsers With Surprising Results

A study on the privacy in the major web browsers Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Brave Browser, Microsoft Edge and Yandex Browser published by Prof. Leith of the Trinity College Dublin in 2020 resulted in a, in my opinion, surprising winner. The study did not focus on tracking by third parties but data exchange with backend servers by the browser manufacturer. Some browsers went as far as collecting hardware ID's while others made no connections at all. Check out the video on which web browsers are trustworthy platforms, which aren't by default and how to change that.
