It's a scheme, a business plan. If my understanding of it is correct, it's not a scam but it's certainly a scheme.

Wish I could, Mozilla certainly isn't such an example. Brave is unlikely to ever get their foot in the door because their business model smells like a scam. I don't think there are any viable technical solutions to the threat of Google/MS/Facebook, only political/legislative solutions. But if anybody proves me wrong I'll be thankful.

Brave is already at 60 million monthly active users, and growing. Firefox is 200M MAU, and declining.

They are already way past the door.
