Is the "ad-free YouTube video experience" something that violates some Google user agreement? Just thinking that Brave is a high profile project and not a tool you download.

I don't really see how a browser that blocks ads is any different from an extension that blocks ads.

Well, it blocks adds and collects money on the behalf of others without having permission to do so...

Whose permission does it need exactly?!

1) It blocks ads, just like a browser extension would

2) It has a set-up a payment content creators can take advantage of.

I fail to see what is wrong with either.
