Embedded trackers Brave: 0 Fennec: 3

So that's the second test a browser needs to pass for me - no embedded tracker libraries. Fennec fails on that.

Here you can see that Fennec tried to "phone home" to Mozilla when I launched it

This is the result of the default install of Fennec - it needs the user to install an extension to get ad and tracker blocking like you have

That's the same as the default result for Brave on my system too though.

What were the other tests you ran, I'm curious how Brave will come out there.

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.
