Tl;dr Brave’s ceo (founder?) has donated to legislation to abolish gay marriage in California.
Aight, found this. Apparently the twat donated 1000 dollars to some proposal in California that would ban gay marriage.
Brave adds referral links to cryptocurrency urls.
You know? Honestly, I don’t care about that. They’re free and open source. They have to make SOME money somehow. Referrals cost the seller rather than the customer. While this does count as an advertisement, it is still very low profile. So uk…I don’t really mind that.
And I agree with you, if they were simply adding their referral link when you did not include one, nbd as long as that is going to support the free browser development. But if they were actually replacing your referral link with their own, that is some Mr. Burns shit for sure.

I was reading another comment, apparently they were swapping their referral link in place of your own.
WAIT, WHAT?!!! That’s like cartoon level conning!

Didn’t they also click ads when you clicked a link, invisibly in the background?
