Tor is off the table for me because it’s so slow. If you can point to some test sites or documentation that supports your choice, please include!

    I don’t think many people here use Brave Browser because of their crypto referral program, but they’ve made strides at mitigating fingerprinting. I use Brave Browser on my PC and Android and never had an issue.

      For me, no matter how good their browser is, I ain’t going to use it. If someone forks it to remove the BAT crypto nonesense id consider using it. I’ve been tempted to compile chromium from source and just add brave-core content/fingerprint blocking. Ideally, any fork would maintain the same general fingerprint with brave.

      For now, Cromite is the way to go in-terms of hardened Chromium with built-in adblocking and without Google nonesense. The only downside is their choice to use Adblock Plus engine, but this is for the technical reason that engine is inferior to uBlock Origin and Brave Shields. The inclusion of ABP doesn’t effect privacy (ik people will understandably mention the ABP scandal) because they forked ABP and use custom filter lists, which is still a very good benefit above vanilla Chromium.

      Idk what the fuss is about. Brave is a decent option with all the crypto stuff turned off.

            Distro hopping from time to time. So enough to be familiar with the process…
