    Braves adblock is the only technology I know of that gets through the EFF fingerprinting test while still providing a usable experience.

    Not worth all the ads and crypto shenanigans though

      Brave is my backup for Firefox. I simply never signed up for bat and removed the icon from the bar.

      I’m sure they’re collecting and will sell my information to anybody that will pay, But that information will be less reaching than Microsoft or Google, their fingerprinting against other sites is very good so it’s probably limiting my exposure more Even though they’re also a broker. How I keep them around for the ad blocking alone, they actually have a team of paid developers to keep YouTube and browser ads at bay, they’re also doing the ad blocking in the core application instead of the plugins so it’s not something that can be easily bypassed.
