All machine learning happens locally with Brave. The user retains control of their data.

>Brave's ads don't leak your consumer profile to the advertisers. Only Brave themselves know who's seeing what (and even then, only client-side, unless they push a malicious update one day.) Advertisers only get to know how many impressions they got.
Isn't this how Google ads work?

No. Almost all of Google’s revenue comes from gathering and monetizing user data, all while repeatedly saying they don’t “sell” user data.

No, Google has your entire life story associated with your verified name, server side and only under your control insofar as GDPR/CCPA deletion requests.
Not to say I personally have a problem with that (I looove my Google Maps history) but it's a very different model.

Can you ever ensure that the trusted computing base won't send all your info to a company?
Maybe there is a backdoor in Google Chrome or something.
What if they just "cache it", or make it available on other devices etc?
Apple does it with iCloud. And google does it too. You log in with your google account everywhere on your browsers, they don't even hide it.

Just because lots of companies do it, doesn't mean it's a good thing though, does it?

The point is that Brave is doing something different though?
Something where your privacy is not violated and the value generated from your attention goes directly to the content producers you like most.

Thank you for making the distinction between what brave is doing and what the rest of the market is doing. To little attention is directed at the soul selling privacy violating business practices of the advertising establishment. Long live Brave!
By contrast, every credit card with "rewards", retail loyalty card, or coupon app (e.g. Honey) you've ever signed up for is — very explicitly — selling your consumer profile to advertisers/market research companies. Then, to make you interested in being on the other side of that deal, they take some of the money they make from those data-buyers and pass it back to you as rewards/points/offers.
If neither of these business models already existed, and both were pitched at the same time, I think it'd be the second one that would put people in mind of dystopian speculative fiction.
