I am a lawyer but I do not practice contract law and please do not take anything I say as legal advice. The language does seem concerning. With regard to what other browsers do, I can't answer that. What I can say, though, is that I am familiar with the social media site "Minds", where the user retains full rights to all content. In the case of a browser, the exposure to the entire web, rather than the closed confines of a site, may make ownership issues more problematic. For me, I would probably choose impervious as a Brave substitute, with the lightning network as a huge benefit, and avoid the other applications.
It could be a fuss about nothing, and geared towards protection of Impervious - given they are US based.
I would have preferred to see language geared towards protection of end users and their content though.. More "FOSS" than "corporate".
It's a stark contrast to Brave: https://brave.com/privacy/browser/
