Firefox and Brave are secure, private-by-default browsers.

i don't know that i would define Firefox as being private by default (i don't know about Brave) - there are several crucial prefs which are not enabled by default

privacy.resistFingerprinting
webgl.disabled
browser.contentblocking.category
privacy.partition.serviceWorkers

Firefox is, IMO, the best foundation from which to start, but much more is needed (arkenfox user.js, a few extensions)

Sure, this is true. Would you like to submit a PR?

no, but i'll offer a change to consider...

current:

Firefox and Brave are secure, private-by-default browsers.

suggested:

Firefox is a great starting point for the privacy conscious, however the default settings are not sufficient. Please see the arkenfox user.js project as well as their extensive wiki.

i don't know whether Brave should be included and i'm not sure that it offers anything over the standard release version of FF that isn't addressed by the arkenfox js - personally, i would probably recommend LibreWolf over Brave (LW uses a custom arkenfox js btw)

you could also link to one of my guides if you wish - i think you already do in another section somewhere, but maybe it would be worthwhile in the 'Web Browsing' > 'Use a Privacy-Respecting Browser' part as well ???
