The Brave browser achieved top place in ZDnet's ranking of browsers for privacy and security - see https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-browser-for-privacy/  These were, in order:

#1:    Brave
#2:    Mozilla Firefox
#3:    DuckDuckGo
#4:    Microsoft Edge
#5:    NoScript extension (?)

I'm pretty sure I saw the same ranking in an article in the Choice Australia magazine, but can't find it now.

Does anyone know anything about the origins of Brave?  And where does that place the EFF Privacy Badger?
