Second, despite the dumpsterfire that Mozilla’s leadership has been in a decade or so, it is very robust with privacy and anti fingerprint features out of the box, the containers has also stabilised and works great.
Using Brave EFF reports that I have a randomized fingerprint.
Using Firefox or Edge EFF reports I have a unique fingerprint
"randomized fingerprint" -> that's a bad result, it means the site can detect you're spoofing info
"unique fingerprint" -> this is good, ONLY IF you refresh and it still says "unique fingerprint", because it means the site sees you as a brand new visitor each visit, and doesn't detect any (what advertisers would call) nefarious behavior. however, if you visit again and the second time it says "nearly-unique fingerprint", that's a fail because your two visits were linked
The ideal result you should aim for is "non-unique fingerprint". That means your device is indistinguishable from countless others. Blending in to the crowd is what you want.
See Fingerprint.com, despite Brave's protections you'll likely find it works reliably.
I love that things like this are coming too light. But, I fucking cannot understand how anyone would’ve ever thought this was OK.
They made some improvements August this year

I just installed it, I want to know if everyone gets the same hash (same identity for everyone).
