Your first link talks about Google consuming data for its AI
Your next two links (which are talking about the same thing) talks about how other companies are abusing Google's adbid system to try and collect correlated data against their own.
Love it or hate it, Google has been pretty transparent that they use your data for advertising, but nothing there talks about Google selling your data to third parties.
Probably, hopefully, who knows for sure. That's the problem with using an open source project run by a corporation.
Google doesn't sell user data, they sell user eyeballs. There's no incentive for Google to sell user data since they're an ad company and the only people who would buy the data are competitors.
Here's the concern with Brave since it's Chromium based:

My emphasis, not theirs
People have been saying Green Day aren't punk since Dookie. That's always been a thing with punk. Once you leave the underground clubs of NYC, you're pop.
Bringing back a 2 week old comment but man were you scarily close to what Biden is proposing!
Damn and they just talked me out of voting for Hunter.
I can't help but clean mine after every use. It's like the first thing I do when I get home, right before a shower.
A lot of what you hear is overblown. I'm usually the one to take my kids to activities (karate, gymnastics, birthday parties, etc). I'm very much an extrovert so I'm usually the type to talk to the other parents, play with the kids, etc.
It's all about the situation and your demeanor. I'm usually the first to stop a kid from walking out of a place, running into the street, etc. I've never had a response other than thank you. Most parents appreciate the help.
Sometimes you might find parents that are a bit colder, but that's the exception, not the norm. As long as it doesn't seem like you're trying to lore the kids into your van with candy, you're probably fine.
I'll say it, Blue Chew. Never really had a problem getting hard but it takes my partner a lot longer to get off than me, so I wanted to make sure I could last long enough for them. No regrets, great decision.
Runner up is a Purple mattress. We tried soooo many mattresses and couldn't find one we truly liked. My partner suggested trying Purple. I was first against it because I felt like it was just marketing but agreed because of their return policy and we've gone through sooo many mattresses at that point. It ended up being our favorite by far and kept it.
That's what his supporters will say he means. It really doesn't matter what he says.
