Why do people say Brave browser is privacy focused. The whole point of the thing is to show you ads BASED ON YOUR BROWSING. They track you. It's not private at all.

@Maverynthia My understanding is that Brave is supposed to keep the browsing information locally and use that information to request ads.This sounds like cope at best considering requesting ads still allows them to build a profile on you. Maybe that's an improvement 🤷​ ?

@Maverynthia@dragon.style it's supposed to be more private than regular ads or something.

@gabriel It's back by vulture capitalists so they'll want some form of data to be able to make a profit.

@gabriel @Maverynthia I use it. I think ads are all cached locally and only shows what interests you. I think.

@Maverynthia Besides, everyone knows the *real* privacy browser is Tor. Nothing's more private than that.
