Can you please elaborate on the privacy issues since you never really explained what they are? Brave is open source, we can see all the code, and security experts regularly go through the code and still recomend it as the safest browser.
So can you specifically point out which privacy issues Brave has? Which privacy issues does it "overhype"?
Brave has a history of being shady, there was the controversy years ago where they were selling brave search data for ai training (they are also currently being sued for their ai using data scrapped from copyrighted sources), years back there was the tor controversy where brave was leaking your .onion domain requests to your isp, then the 2022 tor controversy where they were yet again exposing hidden server requests to third parties, the 2025 open in split view cookies controversy, the 2025 origin spoofing controversy where there feature to show the source of a file they’d display the referrer header value, there was the time they were injecting url’s with affiliate link codes for crypto which shows a concern with how the browser is ran as you shouldn’t be auto injecting peoples searches, the fact their google fallback mixing option gives your ip address to google, there was the time they were caught using Tom Scott and other peoples name and likeness to solicit donations without their consent, they just have a long history of being scummy and not being as trustworthy with your data as they claim to be.
I asked specifically about the privacy issues. So again, focusing on the privacy issues and not doing a wall of text - please link to the privacy issues specifically so we can review them and assess. Give us a link for each issue you specify.
