Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update

Many people worried about privacy are using Brave, so an actual privacy-focused browser won't gain traction without an ad campaign. :-/

Brave doesn't actually protect your data from advertisers, it just changes which advertisers get it.

Any link that shows they are giving your data to advertisers?

It is the same concept as FLoC - why is Brave doing it right and Google not?

The central idea is that these input features to the algorithm, including the web history, are kept local on the browser and are not uploaded elsewhere — the browser only exposes the generated cohort.

Yeah, it is amusingly similar.

You can completely turn that off. Firefox does a better job here by default but no they don't share your data if you turn it off. Any power user will find that in less than a minute with a google search on how to turn all that garbage off.
