Yeah, that and usernames are a big nope from me.
I'm not opposed to the idea of privacy-oriented advertising, but it needs to be:
Again, big nope from me. I hope Mozilla significantly changes how they operate and only uses their talent to build something actually privacy-focused. That's a pretty big ask, so I'm not optimistic.

They at least have good ad-block support, so I'll continue using them as long as there's nothing better. I've switched my mobile browser to Mull, and I'll switch my desktop browser to Mullvad Browser if I need to (it's not in my Linux distro's repos, and I'm lazy).

I use the Mullvad Browser flatpak, and it works like a charm. Also LibreWolf, love it.
It's so much worse than I thought, and I already hated it.
For a company who has a whole schtick going where they read and critique other companies' privacy policies, this is pretty ludicrous.

You know it's on their servers. 🙂 Otherwise they would be beating so much around the bush.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I thought Brave only gave donatable tokens to users as a reward for watching ads... ads which Brave curated for the user based on their activity. It's just targeted ad revenue with extra steps.
At first blush, it seems to me that both Brave and Anonym want to be the middleman for targeted advertising. What am I missing?
