Some OSS developers, independent review/news sites get affiliate money to stay afloat. Amazon requires them to state this clearly. Brave didn't declare it and probably stole (replace) innocent referrals. This is level 100 spyware/malware tactic.

I’m not saying it was ethical or good.

I’m asking how it specifically impacts privacy.

Every response I’ve gotten is a non privacy response, which leads me to suspect it’s a stealing from others issue not a privacy issue.
