  "textContent": "I don’t know that the statement is inaccurate and potentially the _risk_ itself is still present, even if one might perceive as minuscule.\n\nThe statement reads:\n\n> there is a risk of Brave correlating search queries with your [Premium] **account** *.\n\nwhereas @shivan-brave statement was:\n\nshivan-brave:\n\n> are explicitly designed to not associate user activity with payment.\n\nSo even if payment data or payment identification data is perfectly protected, the risk of association to the account itself remains, yes?\n\nSecondly, Privacy Pass is not listed as a PG recommendation. The only payment method recommendation I know of by Privacy Guides is use of Monero.\n\nEncouraging PG team to evaluate Privacy Pass as a recommendation before removing this warning. I’ve always appreciated this challenge was considered when making search engine recommendations.\n\nPrivacy Guides\n\n### Private Cryptocurrency Blockchains - Privacy Guides\n\nUnlike most cryptocurrencies, these ones provide transaction privacy by default. Monero is our top choice for obfuscating transaction information.",
