      The project technically being independent does not mean it isn’t biased towards one browser.

            You can but:

            1. There is no clear indication of bias, from PrivacyTests, just accusations.
            2. If the tools and tests ARE open source (which they are), they can be checked for bias/cheating. Someone could also expand (fork) upon them to give more of a rounded opinion.

              A better defense against accusations of bias is a group or persons transparency.

              Simply having an open source methodology and code base isn’t transparency either, since it takes a much, much deeper and more developed skill set to audit both software source code and testing methodology than it takes to raise an eyebrow at sus circumstances.

        Okay? Where is the proof it’s biased towards one browser
