> either you allow Brave to leak your info to advertisers
Can you expand on this? According to the article the ads are privacy-preserving but I'm open to hearing otherwise. There's not a lot of detail in the article.

My question to somebody who understands this more than me, by collecting query, country, device type, is that enough info to identify users?
Doesn't Brave automatically get User Agent strings, too?
Rather, I think you should have to prove that sending your search data OR having your credentials tied to your credit card are privacy preserving.
The burden of proof is on Brave. Not skeptical or cautious users.
Collecting search queries alone is enough to identify users. see: https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/09/technology/09aol.html
