I think that the number 1 reason to not use brave is that is based on the chromium engine. The number 2 is that they use limited anti fingerprinting tools and support his self built tracking and ads. The others about ideology of the CEO i think are not so important.
Why don't you like Chromium? I'm looking for a Chrome alternative that IS based on Chromium. I have tried Firefox countless of times. Last time I used it 2 months. But chrome is just imo better, more stable, more compatible. And I'm so used to having to do calculations in the address bar and having the result without having to press enter.
That's because at this point Google basically has a monopoly on the web. They're pushing what they want, because they control most of the browser marketshare through not only Chrome but every other browser based on it. That's also the main reason to not use Chromium-based browsers, because it's helping Google strengthen their monopoly.
I know. But compatibility it not the only problem for me with Firefox.
