Brave is a privacy-focused, de-googled chromium. It’s the best of both worlds. I never see anyone mention it here, so I’m a bit of a broken record explaining this to hn’ers who missed the memo and are stuck on Firefox almost reflexively.

Brave isn't any better than the rest, it's just riding a different hype train. It's a cryptocurrency browser because that's what was "in" when it was created.

The issues laid out here more or less match my own reasons for disliking Brave: https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/
