Brave for Android does not leak WebRTC anymore!

I did open a thread a while back about Android browsers leaking WebRTC w/o you realizing it ( https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/6rttpk/be_sure_that_your_webrtc_is_disabled_on_your/ , yes that user was me )

Now Brave for Android does not leak WebRTC if you enable 'Fingerprint protection', they did announce this on their twitter ( https://twitter.com/brave/status/898240093965754368 ) and I personally tried it, and yes, it does NOT leak WebRTC anymore which is fantastic, because the only reason I've been using Firefox instead of Brave is WebRTC being leaked, now I can continue using Brave.

I'm ditching Firefox for Brave because Firefox -still- feels laggy, heavy and clunky, and when I am watching videos on Firefox my phone gets warm unlike Brave.
