Can you explain how it's not a privacy problem?


They included Brave's affiliate ID, not the users. I think. So, it didn't reveal anything "new' (for fingerprinting) or anything that can identify the user.


Seems like they wanted to hold the data for themselves and backtracked because " Sorry we got caught"

Hold what data? The affiliate ID?


Brave could know the user... used Brave?
