Brave is NOT fingerprint resistant enough

About Fingerprinting.com and other tracking companies, it is good to keep in mind how they work.

They use uses state tracking (cookies, etc.) and IP and fingeprinting to re-identify users.
This is easy to fool on the surface, just e.g. resize your window before going back with a sanitized browser and new IP- but fooling is surface only.

Data collected can be weighted on the backend to re-identify a user.

Beating fingerprinting.com, because we have managed to fool it on the surface - is probably fooling ourselves in a false sense of privacy.
