I tested my Brave Browser configuration and was graded "very strong" protection, with randomized fingerprinting among over 300,000 recent test results. I then tested Waterfox Browser (which is a de-Mozilla'd, privacy-focused port of Firefox) and it scored "very strong" protection... but with a unique fingerprint that could single me out online. It's a good thing, then, that I only use it for this website (since the website doesn't play well with Brave).

I found a tool that reveals the scary reality of how much you’re tracked online
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Cover Your Tracks tool lets you check the extent of tracking allowed by your browser, and whether the protections on hand are adequate.

A Complete Digitization of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus, the Largest Collection of His Drawings & Writings
No historical figure better fits the definition of “Renaissance man” than Leonardo da Vinci, but that term has become so overused as to become misleading. We use it to express mild surprise that one person could use both their left and right hemispheres equally well.

While this is all well and good, and I support FOSS, I strongly advise against leaving the browser set to "install from unknown sources". Get what you want and turn it back off.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating Lady Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, who is considered by many to be the first computer programmer for her work with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.
This is a day to celebrate all the women around the world who have made achievements in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

I had never hear of her until I started doing crossword puzzles many years back. The clue is typically "____ Lovelace" and at that time my prurient mind went "Linda," but of course that's five letters. After crossing the letters to find "Ada" I had to look her up, and it was pre-internet, so a larger challenge.
She was a brilliant and underappreciated woman, and I tend to regard her with the brilliant women depicted in "Hidden Figures," all of whose contributions made the space program and changed our society in manifold ways.
