I’ve run cover your tracks test on Brave and it randomizes webgl rendor etc, though sends the timezone offset, GPU model info. These amount to more “bits of identifying information” than other browsers, yet the result is “you have randomized fingerprint”. I could not produce this result in any other browser including Tor, though I know Tor creates a non-unique fingerprint to blend in the crowd and I understand the protection Tor gives is far better than Brave. I just wonder if there is some other intention to show non-unique fingerprint as red, and randomized fingerprint result you achieve with Brave as green, portraying Brave as more private for the average user.

Fingerprinting tests are never accurate.
They only measure statistics from their own users which might not represent all browser users. Disabling JavaScript gives better test results but in reality you’ll be identified by the fact you disabled it because the overwhelming majority of internet users don’t.
If anything, you’re letting the EFF and their tracking companies datamine you each time you take their test.
first of all you are right that fingerprints tests are not accurate, for better benchmark see the Carbon copy I shared
No their tracking companies do not datamine, and there is also an option to opt out of real tracking companies on the EFF test and uses a dummy tracking link.
Please fact check before posting next time for stuff like that you may be unaware.
