# Brave fingerprinting measures **URL:** https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/brave-fingerprinting-measures/17813 **Category:** Questions **Tags:** browsers **Created:** 2024-04-11T10:20:34Z **Posts:** 4 ## Post 1 by @Fibonacci — 2024-04-11T10:20:34Z Hello, Brave browser is very good and it is the recommended android browser at privacyguides. Brave uses a generic user agent to blend in with the crowd. Please correct me if I’m wrong. However, at the same time, it is easy for a website to detect if the browser being used is Brave thanks to this function: navigator.brave.isBrave(). That makes the user unique and easy to fingerprint I think. Is there a way to disable that function ? [Browser Fingerprint Test | Fingerprint Demo](http://Fingerprint.com/demo) : This website can easily identify me even if I use incognito mode and use a VPN. You can test it yourself. Thanks for reading. --- ## Post 2 by @dngray — 2024-04-11T11:02:23Z > [@Fibonacci](#): > > user agent There is a lot more to fingerprinting than the user agent. The user agent doesn’t really play a big part these days. We’ve been meaning to create a [fingerprinting overview](https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1834) in regard to explaining this a bit better. There were some quite [good replies](https://github.com/orgs/privacyguides/discussions/7#discussioncomment-3718067) which we could make a part of that in some form. --- ## Post 3 by @Fibonacci — 2024-04-11T11:20:30Z Thank you so much for the links, that’s exactly the type of explanations I was looking for. --- ## Post 4 by @NoWarEarthling — 2026-02-23T18:41:32Z Try this: > **[GitHub - andrei0x309/Brave-Detection-Blocker-Chrome-Extension: Brave Browser extension to block websites detect...](https://github.com/andrei0x309/Brave-Detection-Blocker-Chrome-Extension)** > > Brave Browser extension to block websites detect that you have brave Browser installed.

Using this tool and auditing your search engines, Brave should stop telling the websites you’re visiting and the search engines you’re using that you’re using it. Please, star the repo if you find it useful. It’s the only existing tool who fix this issue AFAIK.
