- thesuitonym 1y agoDoes it matter? Brave is adware, so even if they prevent fingerprinting, you're just trading one vendor for another.
- oldandboring 1y agoI just turn off all the news, ads, crypto wallet, etc. stuff in Brave and it honestly feels just like Chrome but with really good ad-blocking. I'm just a little disappointed to see that it isn't as good at blocking fingerprinting as they claim to be.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoIt depends exactly what they do and what you're trying to prevent. If Brave shows you ads but does it without tracking you, then that might be better than them not showing ads and letting you be tracked. So the question is: Are they tracking you?

- anonymousDan 1y agoOh wow, supercool! Seems to do pretty well on desktop private mode at least.

- jeroenhd 1y agoTested with Brave on my phone using fingerprint.com. Visited the website, took note of the ID, closed the tab, cleared browsing data, and opened the website again. The ID remained the same. This is on Android, so Brave is using their own browser engine, so I don't think things will be different on desktop.
