It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    • DuckDuckGo Private Browser might be good too
    • Firefox might have anti-features, but should still be better than Brave
    • Chromium should also be better than Brave, but i usually discourage people from using chrome based browsers, because using them strengthens googles monopoly
