>I also find the self-acclaimed "Brave" browser company an odd partner to work with for an organisation dedicated to the open web like IA. This browser has exactly one purpose: to make money. In terms of the people working on it, it's arguably more commercial than Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

The browser company (Brave) only makes money if the user opts in to ads, which is exactly that; opt-in. That choice is on the user.

Brave have been very open about their focus on privacy and an open web.
