Brave is filled with features I do not want or care about and I do not trust it. I am perfectly content with LibreWolf, though I am happy to recommend Firefox to people, too, as for all of its misgivings, I still think it is one of the better options for casual users.

That doesn't mean we're all good, though. Chrome has a lot of advantages by virtue of being a Google product, for casual users, like Chromecast support.

Brave isn't without sins either, particularly around crypto, their ad and search arbitrage and the creator payment tokens.

I'm not sure without a dutiful audit that I would trust any of that to be better. Simply, its trading one set of issues for another.

Firefox is standing there, without a dance partner.
There are three web browser engines, and Brave isn't the upstream for any one of them.
