Why wait?

Also, Brave browser exists for those who are particularly attached to chromium.

              shady issues in the past from company
heavily integrated with crypto (controversial for some)
CEO is a transphobe
it's still Chrome under the hood

CEO is also homophobic and a covid skeptic
the browser used to modify crypto exchange URLs to add it's affiliate code to it
it used to collect donations for content creators without their consent

Why people always forget the simple:

Brave is an Ad company that want to replace google ads

Switching Google to Brave is not an upgrade is a sidegrade.

Firefox is

Dependant on Google's ad revenue

Dependant on Google's money, the majority of Google comes from ads but not all of them. The deal is not directly with ads, is the default search engine on Firefox.
This is recently, sucks a lot but we did not see yet how they'll use that with the browser.

More importantly the biggest difference is Brave want to be like Google, is the goal of the company. Mozilla is funding the project in the shittiest way possible but is not the end goal.

So you are sure that Google and Mozilla doesn't employ any homophobics? They obviously have some sort of mind reader?

You are right, I should have been more specific. He's openly homophobic. I'm also pretty sure that's not the case for Mozilla as he was Mozilla's CEO and was pushed out over this specific thing.
