Well, it doesn’t help that privacyguides.org lists both Brave browser and search as recommendations.

I have no idea how they developed such a following. They’re shady AF.

I found the juxtaposition of your comment to the one below yours to be pretty funny.

Brave is just too shady

It’s amazing how so few people seem to understand that Brave’s entire business model is an extortion racket wrapped in a crypto scam.

Of course, both that and the new bullshit described in this article is all just par for the course from the guy who (a) inflicted the abomination that is Javascript upon the world, and (b) got booted from Mozilla for being a bigot.
