Interesting that a browser designed to block analytics has built in analytics. Is this enabled by default?

I was curious too and so I looked it up. I believe it's opt-out https://brave.com/privacy-preserving-product-analytics-p3a/

Here's a list of the telemetry https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/P3A

Pretty sure the goal is to block 3rd party ads and tracking scripts. The goal was never "block all analytics". For example, I don't think Brave will by default block 1st party analytics either.

Brave blocks Google Tag Manager completely and that doesn't drop any cookies at all, and Google Analytics which drops first party cookies.
