With unlinkable bouncing, Brave can notice when you’re about to visit a privacy harming (or otherwise suspect) website, and instead route that visit through a new, temporary browser storage.

With debouncing, Brave adds an extra layer of protection against bounce tracking by recognizing when you’re about to visit a known tracking domain, skipping that visit altogether, and instead directly navigating you to the intended destination.

It removes tracking parameters from URLs, blocks bounce tracking via filter lists, and pioneered both debouncing and unlinkable bouncing protections.

Brave blocks multiple variants of this scheme, and has the most robust protection against bounce tracking of any popular browser.

These tracking links might look like “where everything after the “?” is a tracker. Also, if you do a browser speed test which will measure the speed of javascript in the browser Mozilla had a score of 1566. So, on this part of our Brave vs mozilla review, Brave clearly won. Bounce tracking involves hiding a tracker directly in the link you click, making it harder to block without breaking websites. For example, opening a new tab on Mozilla increase the CPU usage by 8 while opening a new one in Brave browser only increased the CPU usage by 4. As more browsers offer default protection against tracking, the ad tech industry has developed a clever way to get around this protection: bounce tracking.
