From the article:

"I know for a fact that Wikipedia operates under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which explicitly states that if you’re going to use the data, you must give attribution. As far as search engines go, they can get away with it because linking back to a Wikipedia article on the same page as the search results is considered attribution.

But in the case of Brave, not only are they disregarding the license - they’re also charging money for the data and then giving third parties “rights” to that data."

    Brave still is a great browser just disable a few settings as recommended in the guide

    Brave is still Chromium in a new coat of paint and you’re still aiding Google in their domination of web standards.

      That is a little unfair tbh, they do quite a lot, such as their privacy shields, including the script blocking one which is basically like NoScript.

      They also do some work on anti fingerprinting tech and other things along that vein.
