History
Brave skips known bounce trackers
With “debouncing”, Brave notices when a link goes through a known tracking domain and navigates straight to the destination (desktop 1.32).
Safari 15 hides the IP address from known trackers
Requests to known trackers no longer reveal the user’s IP address.
WebKit's protections extend to all iOS browsers
With iOS 14, Intelligent Tracking Prevention applies to every browser and in-app browser on iOS, since they all use WebKit. Only the user can turn it off.
