Brave's team comes from Firefox, but Brave is much stronger than Firefox in terms of privacy protection. You can take a look at the comparison between Brave and Firefox on the Brave website, Firefox lacks ad filtering, powerful fingerprint blocking, and query parameter filtering.

My recommendations are:
1. Built-in Tor network. Added a Tor privacy window.
2. Fingerprint randomization. When I looked it up, I found that the reason why Tor Browser doesn't use fingerprint randomization is because it thinks fingerprint randomization is performance-intensive, so it uses a way to reduce fingerprint differences to combat fingerprinting. But I think you can go two ways, in both directions at the same time, and then it's up to the user to decide what method to use against fingerprinting, and I'm leaning towards fingerprint randomization. Moreover, Brave's fingerprint changes every time it starts, not every time the window is refreshed, so the performance consumption should not be too much, which is acceptable.
3. Built-in AdGuard ad filter. In addition to filtering ads, it also blocks trackers and query parameters, which Firefox isn't good at at the moment. Many trackers are not in Firefox's tracker list, but they are in the tracker list of ad filters, and Firefox does not have query parameter filtering, while ad filters do. Adguard is an open-source extension that can be used out of the box.

This is a great point. Above all else, privacy-preserving technologies that reduce tracking should be implemented ahead of privacy-preserving technologies that increase tracking!
