Yes, that’s not a secret but it’s superior to the alternative of sending all of my browser data to an ad service. It’s also completely optional.

I don’t even have Brave installed, but I suspect most people on this site understand how websites can track you no matter how you are routed to them.

Edit: it’s worth reading about privacy preservation, and understanding that users don’t actually need to click the ads (or didn’t used to) in order to get paid: https://brave.com/intro-to-brave-ads/
