Isn't brave supposed to be "private"?

@cm0002 the ping one might be able to stop in settings as I don't have that URL showing.
Varatians I had to block to.
Those are probably telemetry pings used to mine crypto.
Brave is privacy snakeoil targeting gamers and crypto-bros. I would highly suggest using something like Ironfox or even just regular firefox, but hardened manually.
IronFox on mobile, LibreWolf (or Mullvad Browser) on desktop.
“be”? Who told you that? ChatGPT? A page selling NFTs?
Somehow Brave maintains a general reputation for privacy, but people who are serious about privacy will tell you that it’s actually pretty terrible.
I’ve seem so many ads for Brave Browser… If it’s supposed to be private and anonymous and a free browser - where are they getting all this money for all those ads?
