"textContent": "Pioneer:\n\n> Because most fingerprint checkers check for the “make everyone look the same” approach brave gets flagged as having a unique fingerprint, which is true, but (unintentionally) misrepresents brave’s fingerprinting protection. The eff’s tool does account for randomisation and brave is rated well on that https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/\n\nThe right approach is making all users look the same while randomizing stuff. Brave has too many options, everyone’s config is different. An example metaphor: you can wear a mask in a crowd, and yes no one can see your face, but you’re the only one wearing a mask in a crowd. Firefox has the same issue.\n\nExternal Image rknf404.github.io\n\n### Resisting Fingerprinting - Selecting a Browser - Chromium Hardening Guide\n\nSummary\n\nPioneer:\n\n> The developers of secureblue are focused on security not privacy and don’t seem to care that much about privacy (for gods sakes they recommend chrome) or open source. TBH the more I read the more confused I am by their attitude, because if you want a secure system but don’t care about open source or privacy then why not use a mac? Though I’m still happy the project exists as it helps improve linux security and hopefully the security improvements they’ve made can make their way into more linux distros.\n\nThey care privacy. Because privacy is built on top of security. if your device is compromised, privacy is nothing. Closed-source software can be private and secure.",
