Data-harvesting would be quite difficult to hide given our source code is open to the public (i.e. https://code.brave.com and https://github.com/brave), and that we encourage web-proxy evaluation of network activity (a la https://brave.com/popular-browsers-first-run/). In fact, reputable researchers in the privacy space have reviewed Brave, finding it to be the "most private" browser, in a class of its own: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf. But does not collect user data--we don't want your data.
