Just use Firefox for gods sakes, Brave is a complete joke of a browser especially when it comes to privacy.
Yeah, doing any kind of digging into Brave will immediately send up warning flares that the privacy claims are pure fluff. Just use Firefox or Librewolf.
Firefox is great. Librewolf if you're extra keen on privacy.
Yes, a lot of people believe it, FF devs discuting in Google groups, Vivaldi in a own Mastodon instance. Mozilla since time is an Google pet which can't survive without the support from Google.
It's not the engine which use a browser, all engines are 100% FLOSS, it is important what you do with it.
