I personally use brave since a year, and it work like a charm.
I seen someone say Brave is not as privacy concerned as you'd think on here, with a link to some article, but I can't remember the reasonš¤
Brave likes to push BAT (and thus its own ads replacing the existing ones on the web) but it's ultimately opt-out. Same with their analytics (which, in fairness, Firefox also does by default).
Brave doesn't replace web ads with their ads. Their ads they show you for you to earn BAT are in a totally different area. Places like system notifications.
I don't support Brave, but it is important that we criticize them accurately.
Brave is shady af. It's also pretty much just Chrome.
