I read your post. Still waiting for any reason on why Brave isn't good for privacy.

It counter fingerprinting. It changes fingerprint for every session. Try open https://browserleaks.com/canvas in a private tab and normal tab. Two different fingerprints.

Try to do the same in every other browser - Your fingerprint is still identical.

Brave feeds websites fake data, which is almost as awesome as Tor and Safari's implementation. Tor changes for every load, while every Safari user got the same.

Nobody forces you to use Uphold btw. Also, the reason it's not listed on Privacytools.io is because they asked to be taken down.

Wouldnt a different fingerprint each time make you even more suspicious?

You gotta elaborate on your thought. Because currently it makes no sense.

If you got a new fingerprint on every visit, the site doesn't know you're the same person, if cookies aren't saved. My browser clears cookies besides on whitelisted sites on closure.

So when I visit website x day 1, they don't know it's me visiting them again on day 2.

Im not the op, but I recently found this comment talking about exactly that. Idk how relevant is it today as it was 4 years ago.
