This is an issue with some Chinese websites like Baidu. They wil paste identifiers in your clipboard. While I believe they can't do much on Brave itself, since websites need permissions to access clipboard (right ?), this can be seen when you open another app (since Samsung doesn't allow to restrict clipboard acess). So let's say someone search something on Baidu on Brave, and then open Baidu Map (which is pretty much tied to it's personal identity), Baidu Map will read the id and voila, his search is now tied to his id.
This is a feature request but at the same time a vulnerabily fix. My proposal would be to allow blocking pasting into the clipboard through the shields. ideally, there would be an automatic warning where a website is detected pasting a unique identifier.
