Firefox has had this since version 77
Hmm, I guess I was more wondering if anyone has any opinions about it. Firefox has also had containerized tabs for a while, and what I am reading suggests dFPI makes that feature redundant.
dfpi is entirely in Mozilla’s control. It uses heuristics to decide what to isolate.
Containers are entirely under my control. I get to decide what sites I want to allow to share data and what sites I don’t. I also control how to long to retain the information for and can easily isolate tabs to the same site at the same time.
I prefer the latter but the former is probably easier to setup.
No, not for usual browser really since in the end of a day it will be easily finger-printable if someone is onto you…It only makes sense for Tor, where your protection model is “look exactly like everyone else”
Does anyone know of if Brave has undergone any independent auditing for privacy and/or security?
I know about past stories of their shady activities in some respects but I haven’t seen or heard anything for a quite some time now.
I am considering to move some part of my casual, trivial online-ing ( to begin with) to Brave.
Looks to me that OTB, it has quite a reasonable fingerprint resistance and ad/tracker blocking.
It’s shield can also be loaded with extra blocklists both built-ins and from remote sources.
It’s rather fast as well (subjectively).
I don’t mind that it is Chromium-based. I do use chromium and the ungoogled version as well occasionally.
What is OTB?
This is a very good blog. It lists the complete data sending behavior of the browser. You need to have it translated.
Great! Thanks for posting!
I’ll will look into it.
Out of The Box, meaning kind of “by default”.
What I meant was that just launching it for the very first time and not adjusting any other settings using only the ones already set by defaults, the browser seems to be doing a pretty good job when it comes to fingerprinting resistance and ads and trackers blocking.
I use brave often. Of course i have made some settings recommended by privacyguides and no addons other than the built-in ones
For forums and email i use firefox with firefox-containers. Each domain in its own container. For the sites where i have to log in i use firefox
Thanks
That is what I do as well. I use different profiles for different online activities and within each profile a set of containers for those sites that I use the specific profile for. In some profiles I use the Arkenfox’ user.js as well. It has taken its precious time to configure them.
Thanks for the link to privacyguides as well! I’ll have a look.
Youre welcome, mate!!
in germany we have a similar project, called privacy-handbuch.de. For me as a native german speaker of course it is much more easier 
The automatic update-script is even present in the AUR based on arkenfox user.js updater.sh
I find it hard to believe that Brave would ever do anything shady given their clean track record.
Oh…wait…
Goes to huge collection of Brave’s shadiness… 
It must have been pretty brave, to muster up all that courage to sell your data once again. Such bravery much be applauded.
But…but…so many people trust BRAVE as their default browser 
Firefox and using less addons now, there are 2 scripts i find essential:
Allows to customize fb, block ads and suggested for you stuff
Script to force yt videos in full hd resolution:
