Does the Brave Browser Really Beat Fingerprinting? Let's Test! - Rob Braxman Tech Brave Browser was revised in 2020 and received a slew of features related to better defense against browser fingerprinting. Or at least that's the claim. In this video we put this to a test, by actually attempting to fingerprint a Brave Browser session in different circumstances while we also theorize some possible ways to evade the defense. In the end we will figure out exactly what Brave does differently from other browsers and we will see if it lives up to the hype. Is it unbeatable by a browser fingerprint tracker? Or is it flawed? Find out the results of the actual test. We also compare it to Chrome and Firefox using default settings on those browsers. If you're interested in setting up a NextCloud server, or some other cloud Linux server look into: Linode ($100 60 day credit to your Linode account)

No Rob, Google hasn't responded to the latest Brave browser capabilities. In fact their lagging behind. I guess what brave browser has done for finger isolation google don't have an answer. Brave browser is a God send and literally does its thing. IG permanently banned me from their platform and Brave browser got me in more times than I have toes. They do this by giving you the essential option to block firebass and Google. com. 2 essential ingredients for device finger printing. Once creating new IG account on website then redownload IG app then presto done.

My first computer was a TRS-80 with the 64K upgrade, [or was it 128K? ] but I fell off that bandwagon long, long ago. I'm not the Rob Braxman in the audience, but I can deeply appreciate the idea that you can probably be identified more easily by your differences than your similarities. Which is why I'm so interested in grey man theory. What I really want to know is now do I make myself look to everyone else - like everyone else?

I have never ever bought something from ads on the I ternet.
I can't fathom how running ads is in any way profitable since I assume most people just don't care what they show.
In addition to that, sometimes I get ads that are in foreign languages so I'm doing something right that they can't find out what I would be interested in: )

How does a browser differ from a search engine? Should I use the same app for both?
On my phone I use ddg for engine but Brave for browser because I like how Brave does -add to homescreen- and how it let's me print a webpage (to a pdf.
Thank you for your valuable efforts!

Is any browser really safe I mean if the big companies control it they're going to control them all? I have reset it a number of times along with a couple of other programs. Brave took 26 GB of data and 48 background data and the background data is shut off.
reply

Blocking might not be the answer. It might be worth it for Brave to straight-up poison the data and/or randomly feed invalid data. Tracking gets more expensive when you have to run it through a bazillion checks for data-accuracy.

Thanks, Rob. This helped me to, find a new faster browser, free up some disk space, and learn a little bit more about online security. You are providing a great service to all so inclined.
reply

The saddest thing about this is that there are tracking programmers. And not even black hat hackers. Just normal people working for normal companies. Evil is normal.

For me Brave did change the fingerprint even in multiple tabs, every single one was different: o They probably updated Brave since this was over a year ago: )

Your fingerprinter doesn't seem to work that well. Just enabling uBlock was enough to get a unique number on every browser just by refreshing the page.
