I'm confused as to how people can feel safer that their interests are more respected using proprietary software. Did I miss something on why brave would be a good idea?

Brave is open source.

While it is correct, it doesn't justify any and all the shady stuff Brave Software Inc. has done.

Crap, you're right! I might have assumed otherwise due to the crypto stuff and other controversies. My bad.
