I’m wondering if they’re trustworthy with my data? I use the Brave browser and at least so far they haven’t tried to sell my browsing data. I’ve heard about the selling Brave Search stuff though, so I’m looking for good alternatives.

You use a browser whose business model is based on monitizing user activity tracking... And are happy with the privacy?

The first warning signs where the bottomless marketing budget of Brave after it was brand new. Marketing money that was obviously well worth it since their users do the marketing now. The thing is marketing budgets come from something and for brand new companies that don't have income streams that something is usually investors who have been sold a value proposition. And that value proposition is most likely you and your data.

Interesting, thank you. Any truly privacy focused browsers you recommend?

Fennec? It's based off of Firefox.
