I agree with the people here. Secondly: Tor is good for some use cases and not so much for others. Mind that you're tunneling your data over some exit nodes you probably know little about. Make sure to use https and only encrypted connections, so your data can't be intercepted. Tor Browser might already come with a https only plugin by default, I don't really know.
I also don't know much about Brave. If it's tunneling your data somewhere to bypass the firewall, the same thing applies. Make sure to understand why this firewall is there in the first place. And the consequences of bypassing it. And the people you trust with your or your company's data. For news and cooking videos, it should be alright in any case.
I use "Mull" on my Android. And some Firefox on Linux.
