Brave have some good features to improve privacy - no question about that -. But i'm curious about Firefox privacy.resistFingerprinting and brave fingerprint resist. I couldn't find a lot of information about both (specially firefox).

Can you add something to the discussion? Ty!

Brave, the false sensation of privacy

Before reading my post, I must warn you. I’ve received a ton of responses on Reddit (I didn’t post it, but it got quite viral). And I’ve been proved wrong on some statements. So I have to check their facts and correct the post. Until I finnish that task, keep in mind that there are various mistakes. I’d also like to say that I wrote this to share it with my few friends on the Fediverse and somehow this went viral

Brave is a chromium based browser, which comes with a built-in adblocker and with a “rewards” program, that is supposed to make you earn money. But the relevant part today is that Brave is advertised as a “private browser by default”.

Brave has taken the false privacy approach similar to other companies (yes Apple, I’m looking at you), they use “privacy“ for marketing but in reality they provide a hypocritical service that “blocks tracking” but instead tracks you and profits from you.
