But it says "without sending information about you"

And none of the outraged people has actually described how information about you would actually be known to advertisers, so I don't see why people assume it will be.

That doesn't sound bad at all!

Yup, it's basically what I've been pushing for and what I hoped Brave would do when they launched. We're always going to have ads, and browsers are in a position to make those as privacy-friendly as possible. Give advertisers only as much as they need (total views and clicks, and related, aggregated data), not what they want (individual tracking, "engagement" metrics like mouse movements, etc).
I'll always hate ads, but I might be willing to disable my ad blocker if the ads respect my privacy and the content on the page is good.
