Google has been accused of tracking Chrome users while they used the browser's private Incognito mode between 2016 and 2020.

This incident raises concerns about the company's commitment to user privacy and highlights the need for browsers that prioritize privacy protection.

Recent reports indicate that the Brave browser offers superior privacy protection compared to Safari and Chrome. While Safari is considered more private than Chrome, it still falls short of Brave's capabilities. Brave blocks various threats, including trackers, cookies, and fingerprinting techniques, by default. Additionally, Brave boasts numerous custom features that are absent in Safari. In contrast, Chrome is built for tracking and allows ads, trackers, and cookies to record user activity. Brave not only outperforms Chrome in privacy but also offers helpful features that Chrome lacks.
