I installed FF on a new Win10 instance recently (March IIRC) and had to go through and disable fingerprinting features and install adblocking.

In contrast I installed Brave, and it appears to have all adblocking and anti-fingerprinting as default settings, easily accessible if you wanted to change them.

The OP reads to me as a PR piece to keep geeks onboard, knowing that regular users won't ever change default settings.

I mean FF have the telemetry they know exactly how many users disable defaults.

We (Mozilla) are planning to enable tracking protection by default. It's a relatively slow process, developed and rolled out incrementally, since we have a larger user base than Brave and need to make sure not to break the Web.
