> Tor Browser notifies the user of canvas read attempts and provides the option to return blank image data to prevent fingerprinting.

> Canvas Defender, a browser add-on, spoofs Canvas fingerprints.

> The LibreWolf browser project includes technology to block access to the HTML5 canvas by default

It doesn't seem to be the case that anything with javascript must leak canvas fingerprints.

Are you saying that Brave is unsafe because it has JS like every other browser on the planet or because it doesn't resist canvas fingerprinting specifically?




I'm saying Brave doesn't do anything as far as I'm aware to stop fingerprinting, and since it is Chromium-based I'm guess also leaks Client Hints.
