      Not exactly, the guy who runs it became a brave employee shortly after starting it. but they claim to continue to run it independently.

      They were not rated that well in the beginning. Brave contacted the guy who runs the website and asked about the tests he was running, then patched their browser accordingly until it passed all the tests it does today.
