This is a game changing feature and I hope other browsers follow suit, I would love to see it implemented in the mobile version especially.

Really? I am all for it, but in 2016 putting an extra server in the middle of my request isn't really a game changer. Brave is leading the charge with extensions as a service, and I love them for it. However, I just can't see it being profitable. Brave can def make money, but I don't think people care about privacy. The other usecases make sense, but between opera or brave (both totally unknown companies to non tech crowd) Brave would for sure win that.

In Opera's case, one more person would get "all" the data. In all other cases, 1-3 companies get all the data. So it's good, I just can't call it a game changer.

"Game changing"? No. This doesn't actually change the game at all.
