It's less about whether any individual thing they've done has been bad, more that they keep doing things and keep doing thm in sneaky ways. Every time something happened the CEO went on a marketing campaign and drummed up a bunch of new users to drown out the news story. They come across as shady, which gives the impression that it would take a relatively small sack of money for them to sell their users up the river.

Brave is better than some out of the box, but far from the best. I'd say Mull is better for mobile, which is a Firefox fork. It has a companion Android System Webview called Mulch.
