So I'm impressed walang nahanap mga anti-trackers sa browser ko pero after checking sa Elements -> Networks, seems like my telemetry siya that you can't disable. Red flag for people who provide "privacy" browser.

After analyzing and checking the code, it's indeed lightweight pero not optimized. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. either way mas lightweight siya compared to other browsers.

So I started with sniffing it's process events sa start using baby Procmon. haha

And oh boy and initiation is slow. Dahil it uses Electron which uses NodeJS unlike other browser na hindi nagrerely sa Electron they tend to be a lot faster. PERO it has a lower process writing so that's very good naman.

Next is yung runtime.
For Microsoft (may dalawa akong programs na gumagamit hence ganyan siya)

For Min (initialization lang, wala pang website na visited)

Microsoft Edge (hardened, from Tutorial - How I made non privacy-focused browser compatible for anonymity and increase performance (ANG biLIS)(browsers hardening)): Runtime uses 240.9 MB of bytes (mas low compared to Min hence mas mabilis siya)
MIN: Runtime uses 249.42 MB of bytes

This is expected naman na mas malaki ang private bytes ng Min kasi it uses Electron and NodeJS however masmabilis siya in terms of searching and loading contents.

Next step is yung traffic or paggamit ng internet connection.

Sa initiation wala talaga siyang request (very nice) and after visiting example.com, yung connection is as is lang. Walang suspicious na naka insert. VERY FAST RIN

Security at Privacy​

Betlog haha. Wala talaga. Internal privacy yes kasi walang telemetry and everything pero the moment mag start kana mag search. Wala na. NOT TO MENTION since it leverages Electron, it's more prone to crashing and exploits (Javascript is not as complicated as C and Not as efficient than C).

Verdict:
Recommended for quick very fast and private browsing (yung you don't care expose yung IP mo, walang adblocker and etc). You need to rely sa external network filter like DNS for adblocking.
Note: Since it leverages Electron at Madali lang ma read yung code. No need for very deep analysis haha
