BrowserGate documented something serious. LinkedIn silently fingerprint installed Chrome/Chromium extensions on page load - using extension probing and DOM-based detection, then send those results through its telemetry pipeline. The scanned list reportedly includes competitor sales tools, job-search extensions, and privacy/security software. Detecting those extensions can reveal political views, religious beliefs, neurodivergence-related usage, or that someone is actively looking for a new job. That matters more on LinkedIn than almost anywhere else, because LinkedIn already knows who you are, where you work, and who your employer is. Brave already blocks the relevant LinkedIn tracking endpoints - including /sensorCollect and the hidden li.protechts.net frame. Open LinkedIn in Brave with DevTools open and check the requests yourself. A Munich case is now on file. This deserves real regulatory scrutiny.

Common objections I keep hearing: "Brave is just a Chrome wrapper" "Chromium-based browsers can't be private" "uBlock Origin > Brave Shields" "Firefox has better anti-fingerprinting" "LibreWolf is superior to Brave" Let me address each one technically. 🧵
