I have been thinking about switching to brave for better fingerprinting protection
So Chromium?
Just use Firefox, its the better browser anyways.
Almost all of my Linux devices have both chromium-browser and Firefox installed. Firefox is my default, but there are some apps out there that work a lot better in something chromium-based.
Haven’t used Ungoogled Chromium in a couple years, but I’ve seen some criticisms of it even compared to regular Chrome: https://qua3k.github.io/ungoogled/
Brave might have started as a basic Chromium fork, but the various privacy/security features they added do make them standout now.
I already use Firefox but brave is just better at fingerprinting protection
Why not use Librewolf? Fork of Firefox, hardened and resists fingerprinting. Scores pretty damn well on https://privacytests.org and pairs well with Mull on Android.
AFAIK there are no actively developed Brave forks.
I use librewolf on my work laptop it removes all cookies every time you close it, this wouldn’t be a problem on mobile as I already set my phone browser(fennec) to do that but on my personal computer it crosses the border from I can deal with it to too inconvenient
Firefox. Or if you don’t want to spend time configuring it, Librewolf.
I also recommend Librewolf. It’s very good at what it does. They also have a list of recommended addons to enhance your privacy.
All of the crypo crap can be turned off in settings.
Or more accurately: can be turned on. Everything crypto is disabled by default.
Just switch off brave rewards and sponsored content. And, your fork is ready.
