How many "Spywares" are you using?
| Not just testing but research them
| How do I know that program is not itself spyware?

>every browser that even marginally matters is spyware
Is spyware-less browsing even possible at this point?
| What's annoying though is that they consider the data the services collect for their service to function botnet.
Take it all with a grain of salt.

I suppose someone could just make their own web browser?
I did see Pale Moon and some other Firefox- descendents there that rated a "medium" according to the author.
| My vidya is spyware???

Yes, modern vidya is usually spyware, maybe less so if you get it from GOG and without DRM, still proprietary though.
| Damn, I thought Brave was a better browser, but I think the guy who wrote the article is totally right. I'll give Qutebrowser a try. Also, Ithought IceCat development was dead, but I'm very excited about the incoming new version.
Sadly, I still use Steam, maybe I should just stop playing games and read more books.

That'd be a good idea, but less for being more "secure" and more because reading is good for you, and causes less eye strain.

Definitely. Or something else more productive. At least minimize your playing time. It's a huge waste of time if you think about it.
| Mainly Steam and Firefox. Nearly everything else I use that's not a game is FOSS.
I don't dig Steam too much since it tries to force you to use the client to play games, so I try to get my games from GOG is they're available. Most Indies I like are only available on Steam, but some of my favorites (Dustforce, Ys Origin, Freedom Planet) or available on GOG.

This website pretty much tests a lot of softwares and even games and tells you whenever it's privacy respecting or not.
Considering this is /tech/, This fits well.
