Brave’s native adblock works better than anything else I’ve tried.
Give Brave a look, folks.
No thank you, I’ll use Firefox instead. Brendan Eich the CEO of Brave is a POS, he donates to shitty causes and then pretends that those donations don’t define him as a bigot.
“In other words, because he silently donated to causes seeking to strip rights from minority groups instead of directly harassing them, the outrage was unjustified.”
It’s also a chromium based browser so good chance it will loose any ad blocking ability if google decides to play hardball.
That’s fine. Do what you like.

Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.

False.
They sold data from Brave search, which you don’t have to use. (and I don’t.)
Also, it works better than Firefox, especially if your aim is blocking ads.

“I trust these guys to not sell my data because they’ve only sold me data over there” is a hell of a take.
Someone has their identity tied up in this for some reason

I think that, if you’re going to pretend to know what you’re talking about, you should know what you’re talking about.
It’s really that simple.
