How to stay private when using Android

Amazingly bad advice. They don't even mention to set a non-chrome, privacy-focused browser as default (brave, Cliqz, Firefox, etc).

That's a bit misleading. The 12th point did say:

> In order to use a more secure search engine, you need to download an alternative browser [0]. These let you change the default search engine and avoid Google collecting data on your queries.

The above article lists Brave, Firefox and Tor

Amazingly bad advice yourself, listing Brave and Cliqz as privacy-focused alternatives before Firefox.

I've been using brave and Firefox because of a perceived privacy benefit over chrome.

Would you mind expanding upon this statement on regards to Brave?

Thank you and happy new year!
