Hello guys i have been doing some test of the browsers I have installed with amiunique.org and this are some of the results. I actually expected Brave and Helium to not leak information like local time and graphics card.
I’m sure someone will come in here and chime in about this situation and explain it, I don’t remember exactly what it’s about because it’s been so long, but Brave is well aware of this, and they actually do this for a reason apparently.
I don’t remember where the article was, it might’ve been on their github, but I just remember reading it and thinking “oh, that makes sense.” but if memory serves me correct, I think it has to do with the fact that it leaves some clues, because hiding everything can break sites and can actually make you stand out more.
This should not be confused with TOR or Firefox fingerprinting, because that’s a whole different beast.
Helium randomizes Canvas by default, there’s a flag for the WebGL GPU Model that lets you hide or spoof the model, there are also flags for CPU Cores and RAM.
But overall, none of this really matters. Chromium is terrible at handling fingerprinting and is very easily fingerprinted by websites. Only Cromite has success in this, but it severely breaks compatibility with websites.
Once again, The Tor browser and Mullvad browser(which is essentially a fork of TB) has shown their uncomparable anti-fingerprinting capabilities. I use Mullvad browser as my default AND main browser ever since I got to know it.
It’s actually quite disappointing that Brave leaks so many data despite it being acknowledged as one of, if not the best, chromium based browsers
One thing that would be nice to see is Brave Tor tabs. Personally I’d love to see tab order at Brave > Brave Tor tab > Tor browser for easy comparison
Test Cloakbrowser and camofox in DonutBrowser. These should have good fingerprint protection between profiles and wont be detected as suspicious for privacy reasons.
Obviously they have other problems, but fingerprint is not one of them.
