We've never done anything like "swapping ads with their own". Stop repeating falsehoods you should know are false by now. The tipping UX that used unverified subscribers' favicons was a mistake we fixed quickly. Your comment here looks bad-actor to me more than anything we ever did.

If I use the Brave in its intended mode, then EFFECTIVELY it does swap ads. By intended mode, I mean the way Brave is supposed to be used. From [1], here are the main selling points of Brave:
1. "Block data-grabbing ads and trackers"
2. "Tip and contribute to websites directly through Brave Rewards"
Turning both those options EFFECTIVELY swaps developer ads with your own ads. The web developer who spent tons of resources in creating the content is effectively at the mercy of the Brave who makes tons of money.
