It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    Just Ublock origin is more than enough, it’s pretty customisable too, Brave is for people who just wanna install and do nothing

    Except when I install Brave I have to debloat it, holy bloat so is Firefox bloated - I usually get forks (Librewolf, Zen etc)
