I remember getting good results at least on first two test. Is this an issue at all? Bromite browser getting same results as Brave.
Did the issue present with default Shields settings?
Yes
Default states are:
Block: Ads/Trackers, 3rd Party Cookies, 3rd Party Fingerprinting
Allow: Encrypt Connections (HTTPS), Scripts,
What Brave version/Build are you using? (About Brave)
1.0.82 Android
Kindly see:

In essence, Panopticlick is being tricked by Brave. All Brave browsers return a fake, uniform fingerprint (it returns the same canvas hash). So even though it says that your browser is unique and highly fingerprintable, you are actually “unique” just like the other 5.5 million plus people using Brave.
“You are special, just like everyone else.”
Thanks. Thats informative. But I’m more concerned about how well Brave blocks regular trackers. Because it used to get good score on that and now it gets “partial protection”.
And I like to know why Panopticlick says Brave doesn’t block acceptable ads tracking. I think Brendan Eich was speaking against them.
Cc: @brian @clifton who may know more about the ad blocking.

Hello all, I wanted to let you know, we’ve recently worked with the EFF to update Panopticlick. Panopticlick’s results now correctly reflect Brave’s privacy protections. The site will now show desktop and Android Brave users that they have a very high level of privacy protection. We’re currently working to enable these protections for iOS users too.
Go to https://panopticlick.eff.org/ and test it out.
