"Fighting for privacy" and third-party ads do not belong in the same sentence.
While I don’t like Brave, from what I’ve read the ads are decided on locally, so no information is sent to the advertiser. Again, this is what I’ve heard.

Users in general. We can't track Brave users because it blocks Google Analytics.
>We can't track Brave users because it blocks Google Analytics. Isn't it possible to somehow look at user agents and do a raw count with some JS?

> 10 cents a day for a bit under a million monthly users To clarify, do you mean a million monthly Brave users? Or just a million monthly users in general? 10 cents a day might actually be a lot if you were only getting one or two Brave users a month.
