Yes.
Describe the issue you encountered:
This came in from community.brave.com https://community.brave.com/t/eff-panopticlick-and-brave/157 but apparently the EFF offers a cool online tool to check your browsers privacy and despite having fingerprint detection turned on and Do Not Track we are "failing" those checks on the EFF's site.
Expected behavior:
We should pass all tests with DNT and Fingerprint Detection turned on.
Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
macOS
Brave Version:
0.12.15
Steps to reproduce:
Open Brave
Turn on Shields > Fingerprint Protection
Go to Preferences > Security and turn on Do Not Track header
Regarding not being protected from fingerprinting, per #5975 (comment):
everyone should have the same canvas hash
panopticlick is based on the number of users who visit EFF's site, so it's definitely skewed. if you visit the site over and over again in new incognito tabs, it no longer says you're fingerprintable.
Closing this issue as I believe it's working as intended. @diracdeltas, please reopen if I'm wrong or if you think it's worth tracking how we could provide better results for this test
