I hear that both CloudFlare is privacy respectful and that it spies on site visitors (with their CDN). What’s your thoughts on this matter?

    Where do I begin? You’re like a FUD machine.

    “It has broken Tor routing” I’m assuming this referes to the DNS leaks, which has been fixed already. (https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/22/in_brief_security/)

    “Brave Browser is funded by DoD” No, it is not. Just because the founders were angel investors, does not mean that it’s backdoored by DoD. You have no proof of this, these are baseless accusations.

    “Brave traffic detected with Cryptocompare despite BAT rewards disabled” This is because of their Crypto Wallets feature, even tho you don’t use Brave Rewards, you can still use Crypto Wallets which triggers this request. Here’s the thread explaining this, but I’m assuming doing proper research and spreading FUD about everything you don’t stand for is much easier, huh? https://teddit.net/r/brave_browser/comments/f3e27q/why_is_brave_constantly_connecting_to/

    “Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers” Yet again, either you are unable to do research or you’re spreading FUD on purpose. These “trackers” make both Facebook and Twitter unusable. Since Brave is trying to be a usable browser for all, whilst still preserving user privacy, these “trackers” were whitelisted. Since then, Brave has improved their ad-block to get around this.

    “and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.” Brave blocks all advertisements by default. Unless you opt into Brave Rewards or turn off your shield, you should not see ads. There are no such thing as “acceptable” ads in Brave, unless you opt into Brave Rewards, that is bullshit and I would be shocked if you linked a source, which you obviously did not due to this being a completely made-up point.

    “Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links” This was a mistake on Brave’s part, note that only Binance redirected and no other referral link did, which were all implemented at the same time. This has been fixed and Brave has apologized. It is opt-in.

    https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs” I don’t know if you live under a rock but any crypto exchange with KYC tracks you, including Coinbase. The ability to trace Bitcoin transactions and users (who have given up their PII due to KYC) is not something new.

    I am not surprised that you seem to be banned or heavily downvoted (on what seems to be) the entire internet for spreading FUD. I have absolutely no interest in entertaining you for any longer. I highly advise you to read up on topics, do your own research and not spreading half of a story, when the other easily explainable half could be searched up in less than 20 seconds.
