So either they removed it or it was simply a fluke on their browser.

I tried some of the stuff that should show me that Brave tracks me but non worked on my machine. So I do not worry too much about the claims of tracking and data collection with Brave. They say that Firefox is a better and simple solution, but they did not say that it is in any way less secure or private.Īfter all what I can say is that most if not all claims that seem to be true, can simply be disabled in the settings. But for the vast majority of internet citizens, Firefox remains a better and simpler solution.” Overall, Brave is a fast and secure browser that will have particular appeal to cryp. “When comparing the two browsers, both Firefox and Brave offer a sophisticated level of privacy and security by default, available automatically from the very first time you open them. What I find interesting by all the users that say Firefox is the answer, Mozilla sees brave as their twin when it comes to privacy.

It is completely client sided so I crossed that claim too.

FIREFOX SAYS GOOGLE IS INSECURE SOFTWARE
I am in no means a software engineer so I will only briefly look into the source code of Brave, to see if I spot something out of the ordinary. I just switched to Brave from Vivaldi so I was worried and wanted to investigate the claims, because what are my privacy steps worth if I use a browser that tracks me? I will only look at Brave not Firefox or other browsers.

Mostly Brave got accused to being a non-privacy browser with trackers and other unsecure stuff. I had a similar issue a few weeks ago where Google and Youtube were not showing as secure connection, but it had resolved itself by the following day.I created this post because under the comments of my last post, that was about my deGoogle path, was a discussion between Brave and Firefox (Hardened). Also, I haven't taken my computer elsewhere to try to connect to a different internet network. Unfortunately, I do not have a second device to connect to the network check whether the issue is specific to my computer.
FIREFOX SAYS GOOGLE IS INSECURE FULL
I've run full Malwarebytes and Norton Internet Security scans but they haven't detected anything. The issue appears to be exactly the same using both Chrome and Firefox browsers. I'm not sure where in the chain this issue is arising, but I thought it worth investigating whether it was an ISP or router issue with my BT Infnity subscription. Some websites have the secure padlock, such as Google, Wikipedia, Twitter and my email, while most others do not, including major websites such as BBC, CNN and my bank. Most websites are showing as having an insecure connection - that is, left of the URL bar there is either no secure connection showing or it says "Not secure". I've been having this issue for three days now.
