Does anyone know if this affect Brave? I'm pretty sure it's based off of Chrome

Brave essentially has done this all along.

Brave is based on chromium which probably wont have too much dystopian tracking stuff unlike proprietary chrome (and they remove it anyways). People should still switch to firefox though
