Without any VPN configuration, the app failed to block 90% of trackers with a test I conducted. With a separate VPN configuration other than the built-in browser one, the app failed to block 40% of trackers, which means the inherent tracking blocking capabilities of this browser were lacking. My control, Firefox and Brave, blocked 100% of tracking requests with my personal VPN. How can this be possible? Finally, with the built-in app VPN it blocked 100% of trackers as expected, with the exception being its own ads which require a premium to remove. A completely unethical move. <\/p>\n
Also, why is the Google homepage set as the default start page and search engine in this browser?? Is privacy really in mind here?<\/p>\n
Off topic: I am looking alternatives to Brave because I want to move away from a chromium based browser. Firefox focus doesnt feel as private as Brave. Thought this Tor browser would be the answer, but nope its a premium focused service.<\/p>\n
