You're referring to a bug from June of 2020, which was patched within a couple days of discovery, IIRC. An issue which had no privacy or security impact. Details in our blog on the subject: https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Are we talking about BAT? Thought that was an opt in feature.

It's on by default. If I had a complaint about Brave, is that it's a bit "noisy" by default. I'd like more customization options on setup so that there's less customization I have to do once the browser is installed.
