And you could use Facebook and disable every tracking feature and hope they're honest.

Never, then that will completely nullify the ability to be outraged on others behalf and complain about it! I wonder if these are the folks that mash every button on the elevator, because everything must be enabled?

Exactly how do I know Brave has not collected funds for me, but hasn’t told me?

How do I know if there is an answer to this question if I haven't searched?
