Like that time Brave replaced links to a site with their own affiliate links? Yeah, I no longer trust them.

That never happened. We never "replaced links".

The issue was about address bar input autocomplete for two domains, binance.us and binance.com, along with keywords which all browsers offer several possible autocompletions for, we autocompleted by default not just via dropdown suggestion, with referral code attribute identifying us (not the user) to Binance at end of domain name. We fixed this right away and made nothing off of it. But it was a blunder for sure.
