Indeed. That what i was trying to tell. It's good to have semi-paranoid privacy settings etc,,, but it is better infiltrate to mass then you have better change to survive privacy jungle. Fingerprinting & privacy is pretty challenge for everyone. You have to make choice what is your aim. & Ip-adresses you have to VPN what serve you shared IP's, so there are many change.

@Vipersd You could see that timeline here =>Milestones - brave/browser-laptop · GitHub So, and remember this product is really few active members "hobby", and they are fixing bugs as fast they can. They deserved my support and not because i know one dev's.
Mate, just clear ur cookies and cache before make a second test. Scriptblocker does prevent some part of testes. & Yes, it is not absolutely block everything, it is altrouht impossible. But you could prevent it manually and some registery tweaking, but that doesn't pay the price of result. I have testing that panoliptic site few different browser and few days! And you can eaxample firefox do some about:config tweak etc and it count a lot what addon do you have and there are so many different fingerprinting techniques, so i can't count. Script based almost everything..
Trust me, you doesn't want to do like me and i tested many days this page and i got my best result if don't remember wrong little bit under 10 bits.
Here some pics few years ago; (with waterfox) if i remember right.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your reply
I have to specify maybe that I use iOS app , but the features are supposed to be the same I think
I obviously cleared all data and close the browser ( I set incognito mode always on) and I got the same results with FP on or off
I will try on desktop
( as far as FF is concerned I use some tweaks : disable DOM storage , peer connections etc)
It seems to me that block scripts should be enough anyway. Because how do they get most of infos? Using scripts I think
As far as the "sunglasses" are concerned: I see some value : some malware target just some OS / browser so maybe in this way they can't get info about you machine.
Attackers can't know your os/ browser etc.
Almost everything ( I think ) works with scripts , so disabling them keeps you safer .

I've tried Brave because the promises sounded great but then I realized that it's just another Chrome spinoff:
"Eich and his team built Brave out of Chromium, which is the foundation for Google's Chrome browser, which leaves most of the actual development and security support to Google." See:
Brave browser promises faster Web by banishing intrusive ads
I already use Opera (based on Chrome now) and Iron (Chrome without calling the Google mothership) so after testing Brave a few times I returned to Firefox.
Providing a clean Google Chrome is still making a black box corporation own the browser market. It didn't work well with Microsoft and is likewise risky with Google. Thus I still prefer real open source software aka FOSS.

I like Brave for Android, but the desktop version isn't appealing at all.

@Cohen , it still babysteps, looong project. Just few semi-active devs. But i have been using it since it starts, just because i like the concept, just install and you have already secure/pretty privacy friend browser. If those guys just be able to pushing it, will be awesome. But all is voluntary, big thumbs up! I support it. Enough said. Thank you!

Brave browser is open source based on Chromium.....so it is supposedly a privacy-conscious browser.
So are Chromium, Iridium, SRWare Iron browsers.......but they do phone home to Google which means they are not so privacy-conscious despite being open-sourced.
Does anyone knows whether Brave phones home to Google?
