    I’m afraid that protection might not last long.

        An interesting note-

        Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

        This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.

          That’s what I’ve always said, you got no out, if youre a big black blob on the map, the connections show exactly who you are.

            Fingerprinting is tricky, you have to be as big standard as possible. Ironically privacy plugins make you more identifiable sometimes
