From the article:
"I know for a fact that Wikipedia operates under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which explicitly states that if you’re going to use the data, you must give attribution. As far as search engines go, they can get away with it because linking back to a Wikipedia article on the same page as the search results is considered attribution.
But in the case of Brave, not only are they disregarding the license - they’re also charging money for the data and then giving third parties “rights” to that data."
I read ya.
I was always skeptical about Brave with their side projects of crypto etc. Its funny because privacytools.io recommends them till this day.
I have been using Librewolf for some time now and I am happy with it.
Privacy Guides recommends them also.
Except we’re transparent as to why and Burung Hantu (Marco Wollank) (current owner of PTIO) is not.
privacytools.io is no longer the recommended one since the mod/domain owner split a long while ago, it now heavily endorses ads (such as nordvpn) you instead should use

Brave still is a great browser just disable a few settings as recommended in the guide
Brave is still Chromium in a new coat of paint and you’re still aiding Google in their domination of web standards.
That is a little unfair tbh, they do quite a lot, such as their privacy shields, including the script blocking one which is basically like NoScript.
They also do some work on anti fingerprinting tech and other things along that vein.
