Brave also exposes your internet address, Firefox loses functionality


War on privacy!

The authorities claim that there’s always some sort of war, you know a war on terror, waste, drugs or whatever other topic is befitting for that month.

The ‘war’ that the people are facing is one on their (internet) privacy, where the front is your smart phone.

False companies are setup under the ‘advertising’ banner that obtain your metadata and pass it on to government players, yes including the ‘bad’/rogue governments.

In a previous article we explained how Firefox leaks your internet address, where some people have suggested to use Brave which is based on Google’s Chrome product.

Anything Google based means that there is zero respect for your privacy, meaning that you’re going to get data mined, where the data is going to be on some government server.

A more tech savvy person may say the since Brave is Chrome based you can change the WebRTC settings under link chrome://flags, where you can disable up to 5 setting with reference to WebRTC.

Well, here’s the unfortunate part for your privacy.

 It doesn’t work.


As a result we do not recommend using Brave if you value your privacy.

Mozilla have also screwed you over with regards to your privacy where they have removed the “about:config” function which allowed you disable WebRTC leaks in its updated version of Firefox for Android.

If you must use apps you should be looking for the ones that are not GSF (Google Services Framework) dependent.

Stay away from them like the plague or you know, COVID.
