From the website: "By using Brave’s new private CDN to deliver RSS feeds to the browser anonymously, there is no data trail available for third parties to collect or track. This makes Brave News a unique news reading experience when compared to other apps and platforms that track users’ reading activities. Nobody can track the content that Brave users are reading, including Brave itself." As for 'recommending', I don't think they're recommending anything, they're just providing you with an RSS feed that's more private than any other alternative.

Developers from Brave have already cleared that they do not block everything as they want the web to be functional for all users, people who want to block everything can use the 'Agressively block all trackers and ads' mode.
