Brave is built directly on Chrome/Chromium. You still get extensions from the Chrome store. Its underlying functionality is all chrome.

What would that accomplish?

What would what accomplished? Moving off of Chrome to a different Chromium based browser?

Presumably I would retain all the high quality that I enjoy from Chrome while avoiding Googles spyware services. Edge, Brave and others remove them. In the case of Brave I believe I would also get some decent adblocking without having to worry about what Googles eventual Manifest v3 enforcement will do to uBlock Origin.
