Well brave still uses 300MB per tab on linux and almost 700MB per tab on Windows. So they do have a long way in front of them.

That's an absolute lie. The entire browser uses around 400MB when a single tab for news.ycombinator.com is open. The tab itself sits at around 35MB. Additional tab increases by the same amount.

They're crushing it on ad-blocking. I love it for that reason.

Sure, but some like a trustworthy company from a trustworthy country behind the software we use. 45 MiB less isn't enough to forget the history of Brave. The hidden VPN install and adding their own affiliate links haven't been forgotten.
