These tests aren't reliable - Brave does randomise values but it ultimately doesn't do much to prevent fingerprinting, as many values remain static. For example, Brave still exposes your GPU model and driver version.

See Fingerprint.com, despite Brave's protections you'll likely find it works reliably.
