The top comment response from brave was incredibly rational. Seems like they aren't perfect but are consistent. Am I missing something?

Chrome and Firefox have also both had serious issues. I'm not sure who is the best right now but it's kind of hard to vouch for any of the major browsers

Well consider that Brave and Chrome are made by for-profit companies that will stop at nothing to extract every bit of money they can from you, while Firefox is made by a non-profit that just wants to make a browser.
Mozilla wants to do quite a lot more than just make a browser - for years, under Mitchell Baker, they weren't really primarily browser makers even. After she's left, Firefox has gained a new degree of focus and we've actually gotten good new features.

Also Firefox is made by Mozilla Corporation, and they're funded by Google money. Firefox defaults to Google search and search suggestions on, which is an awful privacy posture.
