I've been using Brave for the past three or so years but I do know that Linux/privacy enthusiasts tend to swear by Firefox. Wanted to get people's thoughts on this topic to see if I should be making a potential switch. Thanks!

Yep. They definitly added a crypto miner into their opensource code. ๐Ÿ‘

It was rumored sometime that they did or even thought about it.

If you read it, you realize it isn't bad as it sounds and has nothing to do with there browser and really less with trustworthyness of the company in terms of privacy and security. So instead of trying to find evidence why "Brave is bad" make a Pro and Con List for Brave and compare it with the google infected Firefox and you will see why I prefer Brave as the browser of trust and use LibreWolf as second, because it's like a real private version of Firefox.
