>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.
