Assuming that's a good faith question (I'm skeptical), let's click through some random HN headlines and use uMatrix to count how many requests for Javascript and other garbage are being made to Google servers, and how many are made to Brave's servers. First off: https://www.deepmind.com/blog/mastering-stratego-the-classic-game-of-imperfect-information https://www.deepmind.com/blog/mastering-stratego-the-classic... By my count that has two requests to googleapis.com, one to gstatic.com, and one to googletagmanager, but none to any Brave sites. Next up: https://www.thefire.org/news/free-speech-culture-elon-musk-and-twitter https://www.thefire.org/news/free-speech-culture-elon-musk-a... Requests googletagmanager, but nothing from Brave.

Makes requests to googletagmanager ang googleapis.com. Brave completely missing. And: https://twitter.com/coinbasewallet/status/1598354819735031809 https://twitter.com/coinbasewallet/status/159835481973503180... Sends requests to google-analytics.com, but Brave is a no show again And finally: https://jakespracher.medium.com/machines-and-chaos-9f0e87eebe86 https://jakespracher.medium.com/machines-and-chaos-9f0e87eeb... Which uses google-analytics, but nothing from Brave. Practically every commercial website on the internet has Google spyware tied in somehow. And just to spell it out, every time your browser sends a request to one of the Google servers, they're keeping track and surveiling you.
