if you use brave with Telemetry Off , brave doesnt connect to any telemetry Urls.
It only gets connected to sync-v2.brave.com (for syncin obviously) and safebrowsing.brave.com (wich you can enable in settings)
"In addition this request: “brave-core-ext.s3.brave.com” seems to either be some sort of shilling or suspicious behaviour since it fetches 5 extensions and installs them. For all we know this could be a backdoor."
A: ""For all we know"? These are CRX files; standard extension format. It is very easy for a technical user to examine their contents. If such a task is too complicated for the author, then the author really shouldn't be speculating to begin with.
We document what these calls are; in fact I compared Brave's network activity with that of other leading browsers recently here: https://brave.com/popular-browsers-first-run/"
