::It looks better now. Before it was written as if advertising ad blockers, so that was the issue. I still think the table is unnecessary though, and it would be better to link to external source rather than describing in detail the different ad blockers and browsers out there.

:::Unfortunately, I haven't seen a comprehensive summary with this concise information on another wiki source. Otherwise, I would have just linked to that instead of creating one here. Presently, the table is incomplete. For example, Vivaldi exists for A, L, and Windows but I was unsure of iOS and need to research that as well as the mods for each browser. On my phone, I only have Chrome, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, and Vivaldi. Also, editing a wiki table is far easier when not on a phone (at least for me).

==Remove "Do Not Track" from the table==

The DNT header is [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/DNT deprecated] and enables websites to track users even more precisely, as it's yet another signal that only some clients send with their requests. There have been many arguments made against it, for example by the popular privacy-respecting analytics service GoatCounter[https://www.arp242.net/dnt.html]. It shouldn't be considered while choosing a browser for daily use at all, and I'd argue that it's beneficial to avoid it alltogether.
