what do you think of brave (browser)? (linux.community)

I only use brave at work because it somehow bypasses the firewall there and I can install and use it. I run it to watch videos about cooking or traveling and reading news when I have nothing to do at my job.

At home I usually run tor browser (tbb) and firefox with addons to block ads and tracking.

I'm not sure I should turn to brave as default browser. How do you see it?

what's your experience with brave like?

I've used it on my phone once, and had trouble trying to change my home page. Searching for it, apparently it was because of an option that was glitched. Turning it off solved it. This glitch was present for years, from what I read, and still wasn't solved.

It had the A.I. controversy that people mentioned. So I guess it's not very reliable in the privacy section, even if it's their main "appeal".

I'm using Firefox on both PC and mobile. Only experimented with Brave for a short time. Can't say much more about it.
