    Opera does this too and nobody bats an eye (anymore).

    For some reason people like to clown on Brave specifically.

      Probably because nobody cares about Opera doing that since the ones pointing this out are at least privacy aware people that won’t use Opera. It is also a problem when Brave does it because it is a “privacy focused” browser. They sure have the balls to do this.

      In privacy communities, for some reason the following two things are taken as gospel truth:

      • Brave: the privacy browser with good defaults
      • DuckDuckGo: the browser that once sent all your data to Microsoft

      DDG’s biggest sin was failing to atone for their one mistake by not making a bunch more, so they would all run together and cancel each other out
