Reordering Firefox and Brave was never up for discussion in that thread at all, so we simply did not consider it, but we can certainly discuss it here.

I don’t think it has been demonstrated how Brave is better than Firefox in any meaningful privacy-related way. From our perspective they provide about the same privacy protection, some clarification about this will eventually be added when we publish our [browser fingerprinting overview](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/browser-fingerprinting-tracking-overview/12250).

Given that we consider them to be roughly the same technically speaking, the order is more arbitrary and basically comes down to a _slight_ preference against Chromium on desktop, because browser engine competition _does_ help prevent anti-privacy features from being steamrolled through to every browser. But they are both good browsers, one just had to be first. We made that decision a while ago, and I don’t see any need to change it without a clear privacy-related reason to.

Edit: This is an **excellent** resource as well:
