If you don’t trust Brave then, yeah, they could be doing anything in the browser or on their servers - but that snippet you quoted is a slightly out of context statement from a big document about how they collect data like this, but _don’t_ collect or store it in a way that they could associate it with a user.
If you don’t trust that they’re doing what they say they are, then the document doesn’t mean anything. Although that would also mean the quote is kind of meaningless…
- hartator 3y agoThe rest of the document is worst. They say they are using your computer to crawl pages you visit and report back to their server. Even Google doesn't do that.

- DonHopkins 3y agoIf you're shilling for Brave, you should reveal you affiliation with them. What is it?

- mx20 3y agoHow do they detect if someone poisons their data, if they not at least associate IP addresses to the data?
