Re: Brave’s use of direct mailers
#3It seems like a weird mia culpa. If I’m understanding right, they’re not sorry for sending the mailers, or working with a data broker to get the addresses, just for the fact that names were printed on the envelopes? I wonder who is concerned about the last one that isn’t more concerned about the first two.

#4I don’t know if it was coincidence but I got two mailers the same week after I downloaded brave into my laptop, It freaked me out to think they already knew my address by just installing the browser. I hope everyone learns from this and use other methods of marketing for companies that market themselves as privacy first.

Creating paper waste is making the world a better place?

#6I would be very suspicious of mail coming from a company that touted privacy that had my name on it. Especially if I've never done business with them.
Brave is in a weird market. Unless you pay for it, you're still the product.
The best thing Brave or Mozilla could do would be to legislatively kill Chrome (and perhaps the iOS Safari-only policy).
With control of browsers out of the hands of advertising agencies (Google), these companies could then raise their rates on an acceptable ads program sans the tracking. More revenue, sustainable market, and better for the world.

Direct mail is a very effective means of marketing.
The recipient has to actively deal with it, and is almost always the “head of household.” If you want to send ads that are interacted with by someone capable of making a purchase - mailing works.
I don’t know if “waste” is quote right.

What? The article is apologizing for a mistake (with questionable implications, as pointed out by other comments).
