Chrome vs. Firefox vs. Edge in 2026 — Which Browser Should Home Users Trust?

- Start date
Alright. Can you explain to me as a user why should I enable CSP reports? How do I benefit from it? Thanks!
I always block csp reports, ping and beacon using latest edge 141.0.3537.85 on windows 11 24h2 iot ltsc, with UBO and custom filters, if CSP not enabled in extension csp reports failed on pingspotter, this is why i always block-it.
However, AG uses 350-500+ MB RAM and considerable CPU fraction, while uBO uses 80-100 MB RAM (the lite version only 30-40 MB RAM only when scrolling) and minimal CPU utilization.
However, AG lists are more optimized than that of uBO; so I use uBO with AG and Easylist lists.
I use Chrome with Ghostery. At DNS level i use ControlD with Malware, Phishing, Newly Generated Domains blocked.
I play around with Edge from time to time, but out of habit and laziness my go to browser is still Chrome.

I already pointed this out in the test I brought to your attention in this thread because first-party CSP need to be allowed.
Read this and you'll be convinced:
Blocking CSP report · Issue #2452 · AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension
You don't have any security/privacy policies.
If you haven't implemented them with Command Line Switches, you have less protection than I do using Chrome.
Check a few pages back to see if your sandbox level is correct compared to mine.
But can you tell me why CSP reports need to be allowed? What's in it for me?
No hard feelings, I still can't understand why are you allowing CSP reports (doesn't matter to which party), when you have beacons API disabled. Both technologies are used by website developers to gather information on how website behaves to a user and user doesn't gain anything from these being enabled/disabled. It's purely a tool for developers only, not for you as a user.
I read the link you posted and I still don't understand what's in it for me, what benefits do I get from enabling/disabling those APIs. The link only mentiones that someone requested AdGuard to block CSP reports, and nothing else. It doesn't explain anything really.

Why are you blocking Ping?
You don't block first-party cookies on your browser, but I hope you block third-party cookies.
No hard feelings, but I have to go to lunch now.
This argument is boring me...
Because browser blocks it by default for me. I never adjusted any setting that would specifically disable ping. Doing so also didn't break anything for me so I never had desire to allow it. In fact, I had no idea ping was blocked by Firefox.
If something is blocked by web browser developers, then it's probably blocked for a good reason.
Nope, I allow first-party cookies, but they are deleted as I close the browser (except for sites that are on my exceptions list). I use Firefox ETP set to Strict meaning third-party cookies are enabled but isolated (so they can't track me across the web).
I am now testing blocking all cross-site cookies to see how many websites will be broken.
Bon Appétit!
Argument? What argument? We're just discussing, not arguing...
A tour in Comodo threads redefines "argument"

Well, you specified it yourself, so you agree to first-party CSPs, don't block them with uBo, considering that, I repeat for the second time, they are set to true in your browser.
Period.

I, on the other hand, use this custom setting.
My third-party cookies in Firefox are blocked.
No problem with the websites I usually visit.
I try to have almost the same settings in my two browsers.

It is set to true by default.
Every third-party CSP is blocked by FF without the need for extensions:

For same reason I block CSP reports; because they were blocked by default by uBO. I still haven't found any info how enabling CSP reports would benefit me as a user; all I saw is CSP reports benefiting web developers and no one else. Yet again, I don't see why should I enable them honestly.
The Custom settings you set are exactly the same as they are when you enable Strict mode. With those, 3rd party cookies aren't blocked, but isolated. Your web browser still accepts them. More precise, Firefox only rejects tracking cookies, not all 3rd party cookies.
Visit this website and it will tell you if your web browser accepts 3rd party cookies: Are Third-Party cookies enabled in my web browser?
I used Strict setting, but for now I switched to Custom with this configuration. Those settings completely block all cross-site cookies.
