Don't use Brave.
This is not a helpful comment ๐ give some reasons, don't expect people to simply listen to a statement of opinion.
Brave is notoriously dubious at best, encouraging ads and cryptocurrencies. It doesn't have any advantages over a hardened Firefox (and I would say even a basic one), so using it doesn't really make sense.
The problem is i would really love using Firefox but i need weird addons and Firefox just doesn't have them, for example chromegle
Crypto buttons as an opt-out feature for every Reddit link.

If you still trust them, I have no hope for you.
That's good to see a comment with a link, that's what helps people make informed decisions, not simple statements of opinion.
