I’m going to paste a reply I got in regards to Brave and why you should change to a different browser

Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

Check logs, with strict settings they block own domains. Even their telemetry is opt-in, not opt-out as other browsers do.
Cryptoshit is a thing, but 100% opt-in. Accountless sync is real solution for privacy.
False. Both Cromium and Brave borrow patches from each other, that is a nature of open-source. They sued someone using Brave branding, and some scam projects as well.
False. That's how Windows is made, VPN services installed are only manually started.
That's maybe even good, same-sex marriage is not normal for most people, but anyway that has nothing to do with browser, even if CEO eats childs on breakfast.

You should stop using products for ethical reasons when the CEO is a doodoohead.

Yes, that's why I don't use Firefox. I don't like companies that give their CEOs the entirety of goodwill donations and use the vast majority of the rest of the money they make on companies with empty descriptions to give speeches and whatever instead of really investing in their technology to stop having stupid bugs and maybe even be better enough than Chrome to give normies a reason to use it.

Lol "I support unethical billionaires because non profits are immoral unless they match my definition of perfect!"

I'm sorry, is it that weird of a feeling to want a company that pretty much has a single successful product to invest in it when it's an important part of the internet and in constant usage decline?
