TY! Would be cool with your feedback if you decide to try it out. And feel free to share around :)

The readme lists some of the motivations as well as distinguishing differences with LW specifically. Though the latter is a bit out of date by now as we’ve further diverged (gaps should be captured in by release notes, which is probably best place to read up on project RN).

What benefits are there for you? IDK, I don’t know you or your needs and priorities! There are a lot of possible different answers to that. Also I’m a dev not a salesperson or influencer 😅

Why not give it a spin and let us know about pros/cons? :)

Separately, this is still relatively early days in public life of the project and I don’t want to say “trust me bro” too much but aside from the actual differences between browsers themselves, we take the supply-chain side seriously and aim to keep a tight ship delivering new security patches from upstream on time while minimizing breakages for users. Since this is built without pinning on past achievements or identity, it will still take time (years I guess) to build track record and make this apparent.

See above comment

All info on that site is several years stale and the site itself is unmaintained (last update 2022; git repo permanently archived 2024). Many of the details are not reflecting current state of things and this page is not a good resource for comparing browsers in 2026 (except as inspiration for replicating their methodology¹).

Konform Browser is to my knowledge the only up-to-date webextension-capable browser today with literally 0 phone-home / background connections under defaults, and no telemetry or other superfluous undesired activity ever. (disclaimer: am dev. I’m certain it would be ranking as top if such a ranking was made today. Come @ me ;))

¹: Separately recently published container-based flow for doing this kind of analysis and doing similar comparison. There are some basic results and comparison included in readme but would be cool to see someone take it to the next step, drill deeper, share more exhaustive and educative results, present it in a format more digestible for non-techies (whether using this setup or something different).

Whatever else you do, homelabbing and/or coding on private projects on the side will do you well. Try to go small. Holds at literally any level.

Been digging into the Tor Browser codebase recently and as a consequence now lifting over a few goodies in the privacy and security departments from there to Konform Browser
