The video ranks different web browsers on a tier list from spyware tier to base tier based on privacy, usability, and other factors.
Brave is placed in excellent tier for its good default privacy settings and built-in ad blocking, though some dislike its use of cryptocurrency.
Firefox is only decent tier due to its many annoying default features, but can be excellent with the right privacy-focused user.js file.
Icecat is decent tier for free software purists due to its use of LibreJS blocking non-free scripts, though this breaks many sites.
Librewolf is excellent tier as an easy to use private version of Firefox without much configuration needed.
Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi can be good but have limitations from not being fully open source.
Closed source browsers like Chrome, Edge and Opera are automatically placed in spyware tier due to privacy concerns.
Qutebrowser is decent tier for power users due to its keyboard-focused design but has issues with advanced ad blocking.
Waterfox is excellent tier as a lightweight Firefox fork, though its ownership by an ad company concerns some.
Overall, Brave, Librewolf and hardened Firefox are recommended as having the best balance of privacy, usability and customizability.
