Wish for "clean" Brave Browser

NoWarEarthling:

This is cool but very strict, what if one need Speedreader or something else?

Just remove the lines you don’t want to use. Afaik, there is no issue with speedreader (personally I leave it enabled). I think that the people that add it to their .json files are either doing so because they copied someone elses list, or because they consider a reader mode to be superflous and disable it as part of ‘debloating’ not because of a privacy reason for doing so. Below I crossed out the lines I would personally exclude from the list unless I had a specific reason:

Is this mitigated by PG’s recommended configuration?

Not sure about PG’s recommended config, but (like most of these marketing/SEO ‘comparisons’ most of the boxes could be checked for safari with a few minutes of configuration, an adblocker, or more neutrally worded categories. (And some of the bullet points are just marketing, without much to actually mitigate). As a rule, I try to never place any weight on how a company measures itself against it’s competition, in it’s own marketing materials and this is especially true of a project like Brave that always seems more focused on trying to attack competitors, than they are focused on trying to attract mainstream users, and expand the privacy space.
