Does it matter? Brave is adware, so even if they prevent fingerprinting, you're just trading one vendor for another.

It depends exactly what they do and what you're trying to prevent. If Brave shows you ads but does it without tracking you, then that might be better than them not showing ads and letting you be tracked. So the question is: Are they tracking you?

I just turn off all the news, ads, crypto wallet, etc. stuff in Brave and it honestly feels just like Chrome but with really good ad-blocking. I'm just a little disappointed to see that it isn't as good at blocking fingerprinting as they claim to be.
