What kind of information from the user does Brave hold and/or give to their ad publishers? And for how long? You are going from a situation where many ad networks receive pieces of information (ok, google 90% of the time) to a single ad network receiving 100% of information, which I don't think is good. Not to mention Brave becomes the gatekeeper of which content publishers receive BAT and I remember there was controversy over them banning someone's account because they didn't like the content.
I'll stick with uBlock, thanks.
- 300bps 7y agoI agree. I actually switched to the new Chromium version of Edge with uBlock. I still have Brave on both my iPhone and desktop which is permanently set to block all scripts. I use that for sites with paywall pop ups.

- songshuu 7y agoAll your questions are answered here : https://brave.com/privacy/ https://brave.com/privacy/ tldr; Brave as a 'single ad network' does not end up 'receiving 100% of information' because the overwhelming majority of that data stays on your machine, where it belongs.
