I'm still confused by this study. If the brave browser is not contacting the backend, how does it fetch the latest ad block sets or the native ads? It seems like the browser has to contact its own servers to do any of these things.

Ads are not enabled by default. And when they are, they do not transmit information that can be used to identify the user.

How is the user's IP address hidden from the servers?

That's great. When is it coming to Stable? Also, des the ad traffic generated by Brave also goes through the Tor?
