Open-source tests of web browser privacy

To me, it seemed that if a browser had passed every test, the user might not be able to use many web sites. Perhaps the current status is a conscious decision by developers to keep users from hating their browser. Security vs usability.

If enough users used a privacy friendly browser web devs would be forced to make their sites compatible or they would lose traffic.

Catering to how companies want to run their sites is not the answer. The problem about privacy is that, left in the hands of those providing websites (and advertising networks via data brokers and surveillance), nothing would improve. They have to be forced to improve the state of end user privacy.
