That's a fairly simplified look at the whole picture though. Fingerprinting is a whole other beast, and Brave and Firefox and associated forks have varying and incomplete protections. For instance, only the Firefox-forked browser called Mull seems to effectively randomize data for canvas fingerprinting, whereas Firefox and Brave don't have protections against it at all. Saying you're essentially invisible on the Internet following your steps is pretty inaccurate. There's way too much money in this shit; web services are fingerprinting on everything they can.
I was talking about PC, it's just cherrypicking to assume anyone who mentions Firefox as a private browser doesn't refer to hardened Firefox. And for the record, I use Mull. Like I said, you just need to know your shit.
