No one forgot about it. It just isn't that big of a deal. You can turn it off pretty easily and it isn't really forced. Still way better than Chrome or Edge as those browsers are designed to track you in order to show ads. I think the hate against Brave was blown way out of proportion. It is still better to use hardened Firefox but from a absolute defaults perspective Brave is better. As soon as you start hardening Firefox that changes of course especially with Manifest v3

how is that any different than what firefox is doing lmao
Firefox has weaker protections out of the box. You are welcome to prove me wrong. Last time I tested that's what I found.
