Did you look at the links I provided in this thread? Maybe you missed this part as being 'out of scope' of their solution: "Brave collusion with CDN to track users based on IP" What happens when you click on a Brave ad and it takes you to an advertiser's landing page? That advertiser gets to learn all kinds of things about your browser. Brave's obfuscation only goes so far, and they know how to work-around their own solution. Trust them if you'd like but I don't. I don't need yet another chromium browser. Brave offers nothing that I cannot get elsewhere and includes an ad network. I think its Brave that is being dishonest, Brave cares about telling you a story and showing you ads, its marketing.

You are really grasping at straws. The fact that they state that this is out of scope from the obfuscation technique does not mean the attack is practical. It means that they would have to be in collusion with the CDN in order to be able to get IP addresses. There are plenty of things to criticize about Brave, but what you are pointing out is a non-issue. You keep misrepresenting the information, I don't know if due to ignorance, bias or dishonesty. I want to believe it is only ignorance, because that is the easiest one to fix. Would you at least consider the possibility that you are assuming malice without any strong evidence?
