Cool! Brave is best for fingerprinting protection, the pretty much plain Chromiums dont really have that.
Couldn't an extention fix this like canvasfinger or privacy badger?
No the base Browser needs to be hardened. On top of that you can install addons but privacy badger is pretty weak afaik, and canvas is just one vector. There still is UA, Apis, referrer policies, WebGL etc
Yea I can do that. I mean it will take a time but it should be possible. Tbh just don't wanna use brave. www.deviceinfo.me is a hood site for checking how hard you browser i s hardened
Thats most often privacy improvements and not hardening, two different things.
I dont wanna use Chromium, but if I would, I would use Brave.
