I think the hostility seems focused in two areas.

* Brave browser still being chromium under the hood. It's not the worst thing in the world, but there's plenty of sound technical/ideological reasons to be against a browser engine monoculture

* A (healthy IMO) skepticism of cryptocurrency backed projects

Do you think those concerns are irrelevant? I find it funny that you accuse HN commenters of being Google shills (my experience is quite the opposite).

Brave skepticism is not automatically pro-Google.

If Firefox's engine were more portable like Chromium, I suppose browser makes would at least have a choice.
