Changed to Brave Browser. Why is syndication.twitter.com tracking me here?

Moving off Firefox today after all the fuckery. First thing I see is Brave telling me it's blocking tracking cookies from Twitter here. Anybody know why?

I think when there's a Twitter embed, the script for it is Twitter's own which includes Twitters attempts to get a cookie on you.

Thanks. Just installed Privacy Badger recommended by one of the replies. Hopefully that smacks this shit down.

I'm not. Don't have an account. This is also on a PC, not a phone.

Have you cleared your cookies and cache on your browser. I am thinking that’s why.

No not yet, but I also just installed Brave like 2 hours ago and have pretty much only been on T_D.

What is weird is it shows all my browsing history from Firefox so I guess it imported it? That is weird. I guess that is normal? I did import my bookmarks from FF.
