Brave browser randomizes default installed language and fonts to resist that sort of fingerprinting.
Just a shill for Brave.
*Edit: well, I didn't know randomization or the plain use of Brave itself is a useful fingerprint point.
- hoistbypetard 4y agoUnfortunately, if a site can detect that a visitor is using Brave, that is a very useful datapoint for fingerprinting.

- hoistbypetard 4y agoRight. I'm saying that, on the only site I run where I look at this kind of thing, when I review the stats, "uses Brave" puts a visitor into a pool of 2 people. Preventing me from enumerating their fonts is a valiant effort, though.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoWait doesn't randomizing make one more easily fingerprinted? Unless every check returns different results. And even that behavior could be a strong signal to distinguish Brave from other browsers.
