What I don't understand about the TOR feature is how someone might be concerned enough to want to use TOR, while at the same time trusting the usage of TOR as bundled in a non-transparent way by a third party crypto company of all things.

From the browser itself when you open a Tor window:

Private Window with Tor connectivity

Brave never remembers what you do in a Private Window. With Tor connectivity, you get two additional benefits: your IP address is hidden from the sites you visit and the sites you visit are hidden from passive network observers. Note that Tor may slow down browsing or break some websites.

A private window with Tor makes it more difficult, but not impossible, for your ISP or employer (if you're using a work machine or network) to see what sites you visit. However, even a private window with Tor won't fully defend against tracking. If your personal safety depends on remaining anonymous, use the Tor Browser instead.
