Hmm... I started trying out Brave last week. I was a little annoyed how Brave found and blocked a couple of google trackers on some of my old sites. What draw backs does Brave have compared to Firefox going forwards after Onerep?
Brave has built-in telemetry, that pings their servers every day, by default it comes with a whole bunch of blockchain/NFT bullshit, it installs VPN services on your computer without your consent, they used to insert their affiliate links into URLs of shopping websites and there are many more controversies around Brave.
And to add to all this, the company that maintains Brave is run by a well known anti-lgbtq bigot.
Oh yeah I forgot about their CEO, he's an asshole
