Of course this is bullshit. One single Browser does not win in basically every category except this is an advertisement for said browser.
@Dirk @accentgrave, many are confused about what is important to privacy. These are not technical details or statistics (OS, screen resolution, language, etc.) that are important for the proper functioning of a web page, but personal data
It is always a compromise, if I activate all the protections it has, many pages stop working correctly. Privacy depends more on the search engines used and the user's common sense than on the browser(if other than Chrome/EDGE/Opera)
I use cookie whitelist AND a Javascript whitelist. I'm used to not "properly working" websites.
@Dirk, I'm too, good for pages which you know you can whitelist.
Yep. I have a “set” of sites I allow cookies and JS for because I use those sites on a regular basis. Everything else can screw off.
If I really need the information on a site an I am quite sure I cannot get this information on another site I open it in a private mode window where JS is allowed and cookies are destroyed after closing the window. Otherwise Ctrl+W it is …
@Dirk, a good extension I use and which is a good complement for your ad and trackerblocker. It's called Site Bleacher it's remove by default all the crap from the pages you visit (cookies, local storages, IndexedDBs, service workers, cache storages, filesystems and webSQLs..), except from the whitelisted sites, all other you "had never visited".

Don't forget to whitelist the sites where you want to log in.
