Hello @zenbrowser why I cant have the same protection using zen versus @librewolf ?

I tested it with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

and still it says that zen is partially blocking some trackers.

I checked the settings, many things looks the same but apparently not enough...

If you have any information on this it will be great.

You mean Zen’s tracking blocker is not enough? I guess that’s because Librewolf is focusing on privacy while Zen’s for normies

@fin It says on their web page "Privacy focused" but I don't get the same privacy features than #librewolf

Choose one by what you prioritize. If you want a modern fancy browser but don’t want to use arc, use zen. Otherwise use Librewolf.

Every browser's marketing will say they're "privacy focused". Only Brave, LibreWolf and Mullvad really mean it.

@Grangle1 @hyde

If LibreWolf really wants to walk the walk and not just talk the privacy talk, it would behoove itself to stop using Homebrew, which opts-in users by default to telemetry.
