You can test it in Brave Nightly 1.59.
I’m supposed to trust BRAVE with privacy? Did I receive a massive head injury and not realize it?
Why do you distrust brave?

CEO donated money to anti-LGBT groups.https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2023/07/18/is-brave-selling-your-site-content-to-train-ais/
Brave used copyrighted materials to train AI.https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/13/20962085/brave-beta-1-0-privacy-browser-chrome-firefox-safari-ad-block-tracker
Paying users in crypto to view ads.Uninstalled Brave and went to Firefox after that “AI training” article came out…:didn’t know about the anti-LGBT donations. Fuck Brave with a baseball bat. That would have been by reason too if I didn’t see the AI one
Glad to be away from the Chromium conglomerate too
Every AI company uses copyrighted material to train their AI and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they obtain it legally.
Obtaining it legally is one thing. Using it according to the license is at least just as important. Specifically if they trained it on content under GNU GPL or Creative Commons SA licenses, I’d like the result published under these licenses too.
If you think something being legal automatically makes it not-wrong, I don’t trust you on… well, much of anything, but especially privacy
In the comments: crypto bros and privacy nerds have the same shit fight they always have in every brave post. I honestly don’t think anyone even uses this browser and likely never will.
Shady browser from a shady company.

Your quote is worthless, that summary doesn’t give any reason what’s problematic about the browser.
It’s also unfortunate that the article’s author chose to start with politics - I prefer technical reasons to stop using technical tools.
The crypto bullshit and injection of affiliate codes to URLs are indeed problematic. However, to me that just says to stay vigilant when using Brave but it’s still not as bad as Chrome.
Personally I use Firefox anyway but unfortunately, webdevs get lazier every year and only test Chromium browsers and sometimes some stupid website doesn’t work correctly on Firefox. If it’s something like an airline checkout I need a fallback browser and today that’s Brave.

sorry you got downvoted by mob mentality. Thanks for sharing
I mean, they’re scummy but you’re right. There’s no reason to downvote news. OP isn’t advertising.
OP advertised it in my opinion. Because he didnt talked about it. Just posted a pic and small text.
