Brave essentially plays the advertisement business well. They advertised with speed and privacy for the majority time while not providing anything more than a adblock build into the browser.

The browser is still very crypto based and comes with their own build in add service and crypto currency.

Only very recent they started to add some fingerprint protection, its still only a very small subset of fingerprinting but it potentially blocks some approaches of it.

There is still a big question mark about the browser, because the base building block of privacy is trust and Brave has many times showen that it might not a trustworthy company with issues that only got addressed after public outrages.
