> I am not aware of any anti-fingerprinting initiative taken up with Chromium Brave is Chromium-based and has anti-fingerprinting tech (which it was the first to include IIRC): https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/wiki/Fingerprinting-Protection-Mode https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/wiki/Fingerprinting-... It also works on Brave for Android.

The Tor Browser has some kind of antifingerprinting stuff in it. I don't know how it compares to what Brave does.

  Indeed, I remembered wrong. I think it was bcrypt who implemented it in both Tor Browser and Brave.

  Many of the Tor project's anti-fingerprinting measures are gradually being merged into mainline Firefox.

Unfortunately Brave doesn't have extensions and won't let you restore some settings from backup or transfer them to another PC, so it's not really a complete browser for most techies the way we think of Chrome and Firefox. Note that the settings loss thing is an issue (ehem "feature") with Chrome/Chromium itself and not specific to Brave on Windows builds.

I'm using Brave atm, but I'm about to give it up. The tabs frequently freeze and I can only hover over them to preview. I can't click on them. Adding a bookmark takes about a minute. Brave won't remember BASIC passwords General sluggishness Kickass Torrents is able to launch ads when clicking in the search box.
