I completely disagree with the slant on this summary. The ad business with The Google shaped American business and then quite a lot of the entire Internet. A company is formed to build something different, in that economic context.

I turned off my ad options in Brave as soon as I learned how. I do not participate in their ad market. Yet I find Brave a great browser for multiple reasons. Am I filled with angst and retaliatory drive because Brave tried to start an ad ecosystem ? Maybe for a minute, but compared to the winners in that space, and their almost uncountable monetary fortunes.. no. There is a business layer to society.

Personal characterizations of "scam artist" pale compared to the bigger scam artists, who wear suits and have expensive attorneys. Perfect is in short supply.

Let Brave Browser compete and make some people annoyed because of ads. Let me turn off my ad options and use their reliable browser.
