Is Firefox No Longer the Best Privacy Browser?

[titular]

For years, Tor and a hardened version of Firefox have been my go-to for any web browsing. Tor is used for any site that requires javascript, hardened Firefox instance is used for everything else.

I recently came across this website that compares the privacy tests for each of the most popular browsers. What stood out to me was how many tests the Brave browser had passed. Out of the box, it seems Brave is much more privacy-focused than what Mozilla produces. I wonder how this would change if Brave was compared to a hardened instance of Firefox described here.

Has Firefox lost its status as the privacy-focused browser? What browsers do you guys use on a daily basis?

Firefox and brave browser are my 2 browsers that I use regularly.    For a layer of extra security you can add DuckduckGo to your Firefox extention works really good.

If you don't need to see images, videos, it is not necessary to use a browser, and in your OP's sense, no browser is 100% safe.

In some places or companies the browsers are blocked, so sometimes if it's Windows(shit) I use MMC to find what I need.

I like Firefox for more than just privacy. In addition, I love Firefox mobile, specifically for extensions. Its less compromise for similar or better results and that's why it is my browser of choice. The Firefox employees, marketing, and management worry me, but as long as the actual product is solid I'll be sticking with it.

I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean. Viewing images and/or videos is not the only use for a browser.

In some places or companies the browsers are blocked, so sometimes if it's Windows(shit) I use MMC to find what I need.

I would not need to have privacy-enhanced browsing when using a company computer. I'm strictly talking about a personal device for personal use.

Google Chrome is literally the least privacy-respecting browser there is. I hardly find speed to be a reasonable tradeoff for your personal data.

I really hope you look into the browser you are using and opt for a better alternative.

I think Google Chromo is the most secure and fast browser for use. It's very flexible for anyone to use. You should use chrome for a better experience.

Personally, I don't care much if FF is the safest browser. It's safe enough for me.
About chrome, if something is even marginally related to Google I wouldn't touch it with a stick. I use Duck Duck go, and don't ever do anything related to money on  my Android phone because of it. I used Chrome briefly not long ago, and didn't like it at all.
