Brave's decision comes as online advertisers and analytics firms are moving away from tracking users via cookies to using fingerprints.

For non-technical users or readers who are not familiar with the term, user fingerprints are a collection of technical details about a user and their browser. They include a large spectrum of data, such as platform details and Web API measurements.

The privacy of the users should be the top priority for browser developers. Too bad many others think different.
