Never heard of that before so just tried it with Fennec (Firefox fork) and got this result:

Then downloaded Brave and got this result:

    This is what I get on a degoogled Android 13 custom ROM. What OS/device are you using? Did you opt out of sending stats to Brave when you installed?

    I'm on the latest GrapheneOS (sounds like you are too) and yes I opted out of both checkboxes.

    I am using SparkOS on this device. My usual daily driver running Android 14 uses degoogled BlissROM and gets the same results, but I just borked it testing the latest alpha version for the maintainer.

    Sounds like its not a very reliable way to gauge privacy, then.

    The EFF is very good at what they do, and I've found it to be reliable, based on auditing traffic with tools like TrackerControl and AppManager as well. There is also resources noting test results such as https://privacytests.org

    Either way, looks like we found that other browser.

    Not quite for me - Fennec (at least the build from F-droid) does not randomize fingerprint, AppManager and TrackerControl both show it has embedded trackers sending telemetry to Mozilla, and Fennec is not available on desktop. Librewolf is hardened Firefox on desktop, and is very good though, and has the trackers going back to Mozilla removed, but it does not randomize fingerprint.
