I'm against Google doing it because Google is huge. I support Brave doing it because it's a useful feature and Brave is inconsequentially small.

Big things are not the same as small things, and should not be treated the same.

Should Brave's useful features be removed at a certain threshold if they see significant user growth?

As far as the thought experiment goes for making up rules, you could probably have a threshold where advertising ability gets cut off and it would do enough.

That's how small things become big, and then the cycle repeats.

So I guess you're advocating that this dynamic equilibrium and "circle of life" is just panglossian optimal?

The optimal is that nobody ever gets more than 25 (or whatever) percent of the market.
