The only real constraint on what Brave will and will not do is their VC pressures to make money vs reputational damage. And reputational damage isn't all that expensive.
Ads were always part of the Brave experience via the BAT program. Brave doesn't want there to be no ads, just ads that are non-intrusive and non-spyware. Duckduckgo does search term correlated ads as well, and I think its a fine way to build a revenue stream.

The VC's will be disappointed because Eich & co have said they will never exit through an IPO. They don't want to give up control like Google did.
But now they do.
