      No it literally breaks sites. I was using Firefox with Arkenfox user.js, basically Torbrowser, and nothing broke unless the site told me “your browser is not supported”. Braves strong defaults broke Github and more.

        Suggestion: sites should stop fingerprinting my left cheek every time I open a site that has Facebook and google built into them

          Not much Brave can do there? I dont know what they did. You are probably better off with UBO and NoScript (both MV2 btw).

          But everyone is escalating about Brave removing a broken feature as if they where getting worse or something. The feature was broken, they removed it. Thats it.

        Was strict the default? I’d assume the standard would be the default.

        I’d imagine if you were using strict you want the sites to break because you absolutely do not want fingerprinting. That kindof restriction usually comes with the breaking being expected.
