Control-F for "canvas" - it's not discussed in the article. Canvas fingerprinting undoes all of these "protections" which Brave is talking up. Their mitigations are about as effective as changing your UA string these days - not at all. Most of Brave is like this - sounds technical and impressive, but it's mostly meaningless gibberish when viewed in full context. I mean, a "privacy browser" based on Chromium - I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
- ajvs 4y agoThat's just one of many ways to fingerprint you. This blog post is only concerned with showing you how they are eliminating a different one.
- alibert 4y agoThey actually do handle canvas fingerprinting (I don't know to what extend): https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Fingerprinting-Protections#fingerprinting-methods-randomized https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Fingerprinting-P... and a bunch of others fingerprinting methods.
