    It’s far better to use this site: fingerprint.com/demo

    they are one of the largest actual/commercial vendors of fingerprinting software. their business is to track you.

    please try it with brave and post your results. i could be wrong but last time i checked brave failed this test. arkenfox doesn’t even allow the tracking to load which I consider a pass although you could argue that just because the results don’t load doesn’t mean they aren’t able to track you in some way

    Yes. Brave focuses on providing random data points each time it’s asked (e.g. screen size). A hardened Firefox will try to provide a generic fingerprint.

    Apples to oranges more or less, I’m unaware of any proof that one or the other is considerably better across the board. Though my gut does tell me that randomization is a lot better in the specific situation of regularly signing in and out of accounts.

      Maybe Cromite (the main bromite fork) would be better. Vivaldi isn’t great, but it also isn’t brave. It allows for blocklist importing and user scripts, and is on desktop Windows as well.
