I generally don’t care about personalities involved in tech. I mean, Peter Theil money also started Brave. If that’s not a dealbreaker, then I don’t know what is. But tech people get weird at a certain point, and until they do something like sieg heil someone a couple times in a room full of wannabe Nazis, I’m pretty ambivalent if the product works.
That being said, Brave doesn’t spoof or mask canvas info when I’ve tested it, and IIRC audio info, leaving very specific aspects of browser fingerprinting open. It does spoof fonts, which is great, so maybe they’ll get there one day. So it’s not a silver bullet or Tor by any means.
Speaking of which, JS is a very easy way to track people across the internet as well. So I have to manage JS exposure when I need real privacy. So nothing’s perfect. No one is superhuman, and everything is subjective. If Brave works for you, cool. I’ve never trusted it, but I’ll use it when the moment demands something more than Vivaldi.
very reasonable, sounds like Tor or the like might be more suitable for your wants. i’ve tried vivaldi and it just didn’t work as well for me as brave, specially on mobile
btw. did you guess the other technolgy? it’s the rust programming language. swings and roundabouts, eh
Someone was posting on I think PrivacyGuides about Eich also being part of developing JS, which is why I mentioned it. I’m not a dev, so great, he also did Rust? OK. Well, great for him I guess?
I don’t like Chromium browsers, so I use Vivaldi rarely when I need one.
