Safari is doing better than the default selection of Chromium-based browsers, but it too is not offering good protections for the most part. In fact, the only two Chromium-based browsers of the tests that perform better are Brave and Ungoogled Chromium.įirefox protects users better than default Chromium-based browsers, but LibreWolf and Tor offer better privacy protections still this will change once Total Tracking Protection is enabled for more users. Other Chromium-based browsers, including Edge, Opera and Vivaldi, do not fare a lot better in their default configurations. Google Chrome is a prime example of a browser that is failing most tests. If you look at the test results, you will notice that bare bones Chromium-based browsers are not doing too well. The organization checks desktop and mobile browsers, development builds of browsers, and the private browsing modes of the browsers.

We begin by testing Desktop Nightly browser builds to examine whether data is leaked across browser sessions so that a website can re-identify you when you visit a second time.PrivacyTests is a free website that runs tests regularly to check privacy features and protections in browsers. This week's issue introduces cross-session tracking tests. In general, we see that websites and trackers are mostly able to track user across sessions, except if you are using Tor Browser, which deletes all history every time you quit. In this week's issue, we have expanded the cross-session tracking tests to examine first-party tracking and third-party tracking in Nightly browser builds. LibreWolf, Mullvad, and Tor Browsers show especially strong protection against tracking between browser sessions. In this weeks' issue, we have expanded the cross-session tracking tests to Desktop builds.

We are now testing whether Encrypted Client Hello has been enabled by default.
