I only use brave at work because it somehow bypasses the firewall there and I can install and use it. I run it to watch videos about cooking or traveling and reading news when I have nothing to do at my job.

At home I usually run tor browser (tbb) and firefox with addons to block ads and tracking.

I'm not sure I should turn to brave as default browser. How do you see it?

what's your experience with brave like?

Brave is in the same business model as google. Selling ads. First drive adoption. Then flip the table to serve ads.

It works for you due to the firewall restrictions and such, great, use the tools that work for you.

But as far as using it as a default, nope; Firefox (and any non chromium browser if I can help it) all the way.
