Good luck figuring that out based on their website.
(Edit: the website home was last edited in August 2025, and Edelstein seems to have left Brave by October 2025. So during the time I was aware of its existence, the same person was putting Brave Browser at the top of privacy lists and working at Brave Browser HQ.)
Oh don’t read this as me defending Brave, I don’t think that’s a good browser to use.
I just mean that using deceptive means to promote a product (including botted comments and other shady tactics) is standard practice by now for any company trying to sell a product.
I can’t speak to any of Brave’s qualities because I don’t use it and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The fact that they’re using marketing tactics like this kind of goes against the good guy persona that they’re trying to present and that’s enough to turn me off of their products.
privacytests.org is run by a chief Brave engineer.
