Their User-Agent is indistinguishable from Chrome, on purpose so I don't think you can just rely on that

Well, if it's Chrome and is untrackable, then it's Brave, easy.

That is not how that works. What about actual Chrome with ad blockers then? What about other browsers pretending to be Chrome? There are add-ons that allow you to randomise your user agent, etc, etc.

Does Chrome consult with ad blockers when it reports user activity to google?
