First I've heard of browseraudit, thanks for sharing!

EDIT: For comparison I got the same scores on Firefox (duh) and the following on Edge.

So keep using Firefox with some addons unless you really really want inbuilt customization? Zen seems to be more about customisation first and privacy second.

So far I'm gonna pass. My librewolf keeps me happy.
