I don't know how people can use the Brave browser:

Scandals:

  1º First scandal.

  2º Scamming people into thinking they are giving donations to content creators.

  3º Injecting affiliate codes into url's without user consent.

From a security standpoint, Brave is most of the time at least 1 to 3 days behind security patches from chromium plus they add a new superfice of security issues with all the changes they do to it, with chromium at least I know they are the first to patch things due to it coming from Google.

I welcome competition but I just can't see what the Brave browser brings to the table.
