There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a shady practice to do it automatically (no disclosure) on a Browser that claims to be a more privacy focused browser.

- ekianjo 6y agoWhat do affiliate links have to do with privacy?
- dagmx 6y agoFrom a technical perspective, many affiliate links are redirect based. So the end user may only see the initial site they clicked from and the final site they go to, but there is a redirect in the middle. This can be used to track users across the web without their knowledge or consent. However I don't know Brave's implementation here. Just answering the question in the abstract.
