Isn't Brave's main source of revenue serving you ads based on information collected about you from while using their browser?

also this - like Brave being inundated with crypto shit and now AI shit isn't them hopping on every last fad as fast as possible?

it's also wild to me how many people default to citing FireFox when there are open-source, privacy-focused forks like LibreWolf, Tor Browser, and Mullvad Browser out there, all of which blow Brave out of the water for privacy by their own admission on that privacytests.org site (that one of their staff engs owns)
