Whoever wrote this article, didn’t do enough research about that what he written things like using a VPN aren’t recommended by the Tor Project for specific reasons, also hosting your own entrance guard makes u even more easily deanonymizable. I would recommebd to checking the Tor Project, Whonix and Tails Documentation, they include very well and also some technical explanations, about all of this.

selling data>
When has Brave ever sold data? I’ve seen other people claim this here on Lemmy too and I don’t understand where it’s coming from, I know Brave has had controversies but they’ve never sold user data, I’d love to see at least a shred of evidence for this claim, it’s just FUD.

They didn’t. Some people just like spreeding missinformation about things the don’t like.

Adding to this - Brave’s business plan is to replace google as an ad service, but for an already targeted audience.
Brave’s CEO has also made personal choices on Brave Search, I forget what the issue was.
Selling data though I don’t know, I want a source.

He was only mentioned because of JavaScript and evading it. Really helps when someone tries to draw all the focus on one tiny part of an article.

I think this is either very not well understood or I am missing an old brace news.
They did not alter any link.
They however were proposing an auto complete, when the user was typing a crypto currency website name, with their affiliate link. brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/.
They did not modify any link the user imput without autocomplete or through a search engine. (also it’s fixed).
Maybe I’m mistaken you are talking of something else.
