Brave removes strict fingerprinting protection

  • uses only old and easy methods for fingerprinting. Nothing new or even remotely advanced. If you add more advanced methods you will get partially very different results.
  • reported statistical values are meaningless because the dataset is extremely skewed
  • the dataset is way too small to be meaningful
  • the whole approach has been flawed from the beginning
  • coveryourtracks has done more damage than good by displaying seemingly easy to understand results, without warning people about the massive shortcomings, which leads users to using this tool to tweak or select their browsers to get a better result, which might actually worsen their security or privacy and wastes many people’s time to explain this stuff again and again on forums
