    From their own blurb you only get Brave Rewards (BAT) for enabling and seeing their ads, so you’ve affected your privacy whether you care to admit it or not. As for privacy, I suggest you read the link and look at the questionable and shady shit they did and only stopped doing when they were caught doing it.

      Seeing ads isn’t affecting your privacy though……

        Yes of course it is affecting your privacy. Brave knows when you are browsing and presumably has usage monitoring to stop people from farming rewards. And how do they know who to give coins? By associating your activity with an account and a wallet. There is sufficient information there for your privacy to be impacted or at least thrown into doubt. Not to mention all the things mentioned in the article where they were caught doing questionable stuff.

          Ok so all you just did is prove you have no idea what you’re talking about. Cheers for that.

          Brave know when you’re browsing

          So does literally every browser in the world. Do you think Firefox doesn’t know when you’re using it? Who does it think is opening tabs and going to urls? 🤔

          stop people from farming rewards

          There are settings for how many ads you get shown, capped at 10 per hour. How exactly are you going to “farm” that?

          Attaching a wallet attaches a non identifying crypto address. No privacy concerns there.

          You can also completely opt out of their ads rewards program……

          You’re spreading FUD. Just stop.
