Brave Software has announced plans to deprecate the 'Strict' fingerprinting protection mode in its privacy-focused Brave Browser because it causes many sites to function incorrectly.

        This made me wonder - is there any active Best Of community on any instance? This would be a perfect candidate.

        We really need a based privacy-first Chromium fork… something that

        • allows installing addons from a custom source
        • removes everything Google tracking related
        • adds good sync compatible with things like floccus
        • is hardened with switches like MS Edge
        • has a good UI like Firefox
        • restricts fingerprinting by randomizing or blocking many identifiers

      Their strict protections literally broke sites. Just use noscript and ublock, works way better.
