A lot better than pushing user data collection, ads and analytics no?

Brave pushes ads. https://ads-help.brave.com/campaign-performance/targeting/

Ads in Brave are opt-in.

In other words, ads are NOT "pushed" --- *unless* you choose to be paid to receive them.

Even if you do so choose, your history and other personal info never leaves the browser. Any "personalization" is done locally.

Thank you. Your comment makes me check if there's anything like Brave for Firefox. And here it is: cachyos-v4/cachy-browser 130.0-2 (Firefox is at 131.0.2-1 now).

Nah. The real one to use is Librewolf.

Librewolf is too strict: for example, on slickdeals.net, a link there is like this https://slickdeals.net/click?pno=1011750&lno=1&sdtid=1783030... which leads me to https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-4485850-13804... with which ublock origin asks if I want to continue, I click on the Proceed button and I go the the page https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-4485850-13804171?url=https%253A...... and librewolf sometimes says that it's unable to connect (maybe librewolf doesn't like www.kqzyfj.com?).
