F-DroidWhile we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up their own #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉

Total Sonic Media@fdroidorg @brave - what parts are non-FOSS in Brave? The crypto-wallet stuff? And/or something else? I've been liking Cromite myself recently as far as Android browsers go, but Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting.
elgregor@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave "Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting."
Let me introduce the Tor Browser. @torproject
@elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject - to be clear Tor for Android does well across lots of the suite of privacy tests listed here though - https://privacytests.org/android
t3rminus@TotalSonic @elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject You know those tests are run by a Brave employee, right? They can claim impartiality, but it’s kind of hard to be truly impartial when you work at one of the companies.
Best avoid that site altogether, even when it supports your point.
@t3rminus @elgregor @fdroidorg @brave @torproject - already knew that, the site makes it clear on their about page. Why I think saying to ignore its results is FUD though, is first, the tests run are open sourced at https://github.com/privacytests/privacytests.org so you can run them yourself to audit & verify the results, and second, the results, while showing Brave does very well across most categories, also shows it failing in some of the tests, and shows other options doing equally well (e.g. Chromite, Librewolf).
veroandiWhy avoid it? It's a good work, we need more like that. If you have trust issues, you can simply ignore the Brave column and compare the others.
I've known about this website for a long time, and I still haven't seen anyone prove that the results are wrong, even though they accuse the person behind it of being "pro-Brave."
