Your name is echeleon and you plead to the sanity and morals of the US gov for the sake of its people? It's like asking Mao why he isn't giving the Taiwanese land for free inside the PRC

That's the sad thing. We are getting to a point where software that would be used by malicious actors, is required by normal legitimate users because of how broken the web is.

You are aware that 20 million users in a population of 80m total is way way way more than 30 million out of a 300m population? It seems amazing how clueless people on hn are yet they post their middle class thoughts.

If China does it to the US it's bad and newsworthy but the fact that Germany is the most spied country worldwide by the US for industrial espionage this seems like hypocrisy at best which is what the US is known for anyway. At least Ch

This is how stupid companies are. Those 4% may not be a viable demographic of itself but by not supporting that 4% you explicitly tell them to pirate.

While that number may be true you have to keep in mind that more than 50% of global FF users are based in DACH and by extension the rest of German speaking Europe (i.e. Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland).

Google captcha works by uniquely identifying you. The easier Google can track you the easier your captcha. That's why it's nearly impossible to solve captcha with resistfingerprint on (ie tor mode)

Again. If it's so easy to modify Chromium code to hide for example fonts and window decoration and css leakers why didn't you do it yet? The bugs are open since at least 3 years. I mean benefit of doubt is one thing but you claim

You are aware being based on Chromium means you cannot fake many vectors? Even Tor browser isn't able to spoof e everything Chromium hardly can spoof 1% of what Tor/Firefox can. You will maybe have a randomized fingerprint but it

The way Brave is doing it currently though makes it look worse than snake oil. Why would they advertise a fingerprinting if it actually makes your fingerprint more unique? Why would they advertise Tor although using it inside Brave makes yo

The problem isn't analytics the problem is tracking. Brave is the perfect example. It may have no built in analytics but at the same time it is easier to track than Google Chrome due to fingerprinting. Do you care more about testing wh

So did I say anything about user agents? Why are people that desperate to defend Brave? I get there are lots of Brave bots but apparently there also are genuinely disillusioned users. Brave is way way way easier to fingerprint than Chrome.

This is the sole reason it should be evident to anyone how Brave is just a scam. They took a Browser made tracking it easier and then released it as a private browser. And people genuinely fall for it.
