Brave privacy browser6/20/2023 Both also appear to send web page information to servers that "appear unrelated to search autocomplete". Edge sends the hardware UUID to Microsoft, and Yandex transmits a "hash of the hardware serial number and Mac address". Both send identifiers linked to the device hardware which means that the identifier persists even across installations. The study found the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser and Yandex to do worse than the other browsers of the test. Brave is the only web browser that did not use identifiers that allowed tracking of the IP address over time and did not share details of web pages visited to backend servers.Ĭhrome, Firefox and Safari used identifiers that are linked to the browser instance that persist over sessions and all three share web page details with backend servers via the browser's search autocomplete functionality. If you just want the result, the study found that used out of the box, Brave "is by far the most private of the browsers studied" followed by Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
