On iOS it links to Fabric and Crashlytics. Both of those did not pass Mozilla's strict data collection rules. I'd love to use them in our mobile products, but they collect too much data, too much personal identifyable data, and store all of that at a third party. (Owned by Google)

Just kidding ;-)The whole raison d'être of Brave is to restore privacy to consumers of advertisements while being fair to publishers.
The codebase is all MPL2 on Github. Nothing stopping you or anyone forking it, yada yada.
What we're most excited about are opt-in, user-private and -anonymous ads, long form and at low frequency, where you get 70% of the gross revenue.
In either case some brand principles:
1. We pay 70% to the ad "inventory owner" -- the person who is giving attention space up for the ad
2. We always pay the user as much as, or more than, we take. This aligns our interests.
3. We never keep user data on any servers, whitelist ads for a fee, let trackers through to target or attribute/confirm.
The grand-parent post here is just flat wrong. In no case do we track user data for profit -- we never did and never will. All data in clear stays on your device. We use a ZKP protocol over a VPN for anonymous settlements/confirmations. Our site details all this: https://brave.com/.
