So if we were ordering based on defaults or easiness to use/config
I don’t think it makes sense to order it like that.
I do believe that Brave has better defaults, is easier to configure, and has a better user experience overall, but that doesn’t mean that the privacy it provides is better than Firefox. It only means that its ability to provide privacy at the start is better.
I’m not technically inclined on browsers, but if Firefox does indeed provide better privacy than Brave does, then it clearly should be placed above Brave. It shouldn’t matter that XYZ has better defaults or is easier to use/configure. That’s up to the person making the decision. It isn’t like we’re removing Brave, it’s still there.
^ Edit: Upon further thinking, I realize the importance of user-friendliness in the privacysphere. But again, it’s not like we’re removing Brave from the list. If someone has an issue with configuring or using a suggested app, they are free to come back to the list and try the others out. I don’t think the website should serve help vampires. If they want a better app, they should look at our other suggestions without our prompting.
Though we could include Librewolf which I think would place above Brave by those metrics.
Librewolf was previously declined as a suggestion already (though I still use it).
