There's one important distinction from that link:

> remember: very, very, very few users use anti-fingerprinting measures

At this point, Brave has 20-million-something monthly users, all of whom have fingerprint randomization enabled by default. Randomization definitely makes an individual stand out if nobody else is doing it, but it makes it almost impossible to distinguish from others using the same technique.

This is actually exactly what Brave does! Both for Canvas and WebAudio, which is also used for fingerprinting in a similar way.

Of course, adblocking has always been and will always be a game of cat-and-mouse.

Interesting link. I will say though, Brave's been aggressively pushing for an end to third-party cookies, and if websites are increasingly forced to run first-party analytics as a counter-measure, that is still a major win for the internet as a whole.

Brave's adblocker is all native code, so it's a bit more memory/CPU friendly than uBlock Origin. There's also some enhancements like CNAME uncloaking[1], which only otherwise works in uBlock Origin on Firefox because Chromium doesn't expose the required DNS API support for extensions.
