I absolutely do not trust Brave. I tried their browser on my iPhone for a few months. Always chose the most private settings, don't save history, etc, so whenever I opened the app there was no evidence it had even been used before. After one particular update, I started the app and it opened up literally dozens of tabs. Going through them I realized each tab was a site I had visited in the past. Left a nasty review on the App store that they never responded to, but they pushed out another update almost immediately. Never again. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if years from now we find out the CIA was behind Brave, like they were with Crypto AG

Brave was started by one of the Founders of Mozilla.
With respect to the Mozilla project (not so much to its current state) - that does not mean much. Different people were involved with it, and that was 25 years ago.
Less than 10 years go... but ok

It was also a time of Mozilla growth not decline like it is today

Hell I would more charge Mozilla with being CIA front group than Brave based on their modern actions

Proud Boys was started by one of the founders of Vice media too.

That doesn't make them any less of a hate group or less shady.
