Brave stops ads from tracking you but the browser itself records your browsing behavior and allows ads to use that anonymized data to target ads to you. Their marketing always mentions the former and never mentions the latter. The goal of Brave is to build a model for web advertising that pays the user but gives Brave the lion’s share; this essentially replaces the search engines and social networks as the nexus of web advertising with a browser.
the data stays in your computer though, doesnt travel to their servers. that's very significant
I 'm not sure Brave's model will work, but at least they are giving websites more options , which is more important imho than fighting for who will have the fastest rendering engine.
