Yeah, the tests looked a little suspicious regarding Brave.
According to the founder of the website, Brave’s developers have implemented changes specifically targetting issues on this site, and thats why they’re rated so highly. I believe if you look back to older releases of the test, you’ll see Brave not doing nearly as well.
I don’t think that that counts for much - I imagine someone that runs a website that provides privacy tests for other people, likes privacy. If you come across an option that seems very privacy friendly, and you had the expertise to contribute to it’s development, wouldn’t you?
Nevertheless; fuck brave.
