Brave Browser was found hardcoding referral links to partnered Crypto sites, even if you manually type the URL.

Since then , they have fixed the bug but it's hard to trust Brave again.

Privacy is built on trust. I have recommended Brave to my friends and family and seeing news like this , makes me skeptical about the company.

    @PublicByte Mozilla may send telemetry (opt-in), but at least they're not giving you crypto referral links

    Good I never trusted Brave in the first place. It looked fishy at the very first moment I read about it.
