Thanks. The issue I personally have with those tests is that they compare browsers using their default settings, which makes sense. It wouldn’t scalable to test every setting combination for every browser.
So I wonder how Safari would fare if it’s used exclusively in Private Mode with ad measurement and cross-site tracking disabled.
I agree that testing every combination of settings doesn’t make sense. I think testing the default settings is a good baseline, because then somebody can go from there.
