Track what, and how?

What specifically are you accusing them of? Uploading your browser history to the cloud? What does that have to do with referral links?

You’re just making shit up.

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.

Who?

Sure but that sounds like liberty and autonomy, not privacy.

I asked specifically how it infringes on privacy. Seems like the wrong word to use.

Can someone explain how Brave siphoning some money from Amazon specifically impacts privacy? Does the affiliate get a list of accounts that bought something? Names? Addresses? Or does some money just show up in their account?

What information does Amazon get? That the person clicking is using Brave? They already know that from the user agent.
