    The first time I heard about Brave it sounded sketchy. They replaced ads on websites with their own ads. That doesn’t seem ethical to me since they aren’t in the normal advertising chain of relationships where the website owner has an agreement with that specific advertising firm to display ads. Brave gets the revenue instead of the website owner, while the website displays content that they didn’t agree to. And the user has no say.

    Very sketch.

    And that they say they are sooo focused on privacy when everything that they do seems to indicate otherwise.
