What about the constant Brave Premium ads? I got many notifications every day asking me to pay them, I couldn’t find a way to disable them. They had intrusive ads for premium in every new tab page as well.

Interrupting my work to ask me to send you money is unacceptable, Mozilla has never done that to me.

If you take a minute and go through the settings one time, I think you could figure out how to disable what you don't like and enable what you do like. I use several browsers but with Brave I haven't seen anything like what you're describing probably just because I disabled it in the settings
Meanwhile, with, say Orion, I don't have to disable the adware in the settings because it doesn't ship with adware.
I've used Brave for years and have never seen them. In fact, I didn't know "Brave Premium" existed.
It’s really easy to disable that stuff. I use as my “incognito” browser, it has some of the best anti fingerprinting capabilities and I just have it delete everything when I exit. I know tor browser is better but tor network is just too slow for me to do casual incognito browsing
