      That only seems relevant if one uses the defaults, and if you care about privacy you probably don’t, so idk what’s the goal of this little experiment other than just curiosity.

      It’d be a whole lot more useful if it was “here’s the connections these browsers made after enabling all privacy-preserving settings they offer”.

        Privacy needs to be the default in order to be recommended, in my opinion.

          That’s my point, checking a few boxes in the settings is the bare minimum if you care about it, so idk what’s the value in comparing defaults.

          And privacy is often a tradeoff, if a browser doesn’t have the strictest by default, it’s probably because the ones who forked it didn’t consider it a good tradeoff.
