“Fewer than 0.5% of Brave users are using Strict fingerprinting protection mode, based on our telemetry data.”
Probably because most users who enable strict mode, also disable the telemetry?
So now we see the effect of disabling telemetry, a negative change in the product.
Shame I was few used it but I think it is interesting that people actually reporting issues and seems to be expected to fix.
I simply would just use a step down in security, that’s why I am using brave in first place. Oh don’t run my no script Firefox, oh don’t run on Librewolf. Guess I try brave now. Oh don’t work striked guess standard it is
Not to mention that people have telemetric on. Because I don’t think most that willing to have websites break for security would like telemetric on.
If you’re interested in a browser with strong fingerprinting protection out-of-the-box, I recommend the Mullvad browser
It’s desktop only tho
I’ve never had a site break due to this.

Brave is trash. Just use Firefox.

I would never use a browser provided by a company that dabbles in cryptocurrencies. Would you entrust your privacy to Sam Bankman-Fried?

The same approach would make sense in Firefox too though. And as far as I know, Firefox’s equivalent option is still about:config-only anyway.
