MODERATORS
Both points are a bit BS.
Based exclusively on whether a user had not gone through the Brave's browser settings and disabled the "Send statistics about my behavior to the Brave corporate HQ" flag.
In other words, the number is useless.
This argument could be used to tell people to avoid using the Brave browser too. After all, only a minority of people do. The best way to blend in would be to use Google Chrome on Windows 11, and improve no privacy settings.
Unless someone wants to argue that using Brave makes you an acceptable degree of unique, but using advanced tracking blocking makes you unacceptably unique.
