Well, it does do a fantastic job of removing ads and reducing fingerprinting.
So does Librewolf. What's the benefit of brave? Chrome-based? Checked chromium from time to time and don't think chrome is superior over Firefox.
Neither do I. I use Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox.
Brave has its own content blocking system, which is on-par with uBO and better than uBO Lite. I tested it myself a while back, and Cover Your Tracks, Fingerprint.com, and CreepJS indicated that it was incredibly difficult to fingerprint: moreso than Librewolf, but slightly less so than Tor/Mullvad.
That said, however, PrivacyTests.org indicates that Librewolf blocks more tracking technologies than Brave, so it's possible things have changed since I last experimented with browsers other than Tor and Mullvad.
WebHID support which some webapp configuration tools need to function
Chromium is generally more secure than firefox.
Sources?
Wow I got downvoted a lot on that I thought it was a generally agreed upon fact. Source (graphene os)
I still use firefox btw because I prefer it for many other reasons but chromium is definetely more secure.
GraphaneOS founder has fetish for Chromium and he hates F-Droid 1
tldr: he accuse f-droid not being secure and citing this bs post https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ and he promotes accrescent.app
here is some examples:
So I take everything GraphaneOS says with a grain of salt
Can you stop spreading FUD? This almost feels like a pointless attack on someone who haven't asked anything... Already that were targeted with harassment...

Dan Micay is infamous for false and baseless accusations leveled at other groups of people, including everybody from Louis Rossman to the Calyx and F-Droid teams. If making verifiable statements is considered harassment, how much more harassment has he been doing?
One source from a sadly biased author. I am honestly too lazy to aggregate some numbers for CVEs to find out what's the truth but I am sure that it is not an inherent quality of chromium to be more secure.
He's not biased FYI he's a well known expert in his own field... And he's right Here's additional proof too: https://github.com/RKNF404/chromium-hardening-guide/blob/main/pages/BROWSER_SELECTION.md#firefox
