I think you can disable the telemetry in the Brave settings. Maybe try that. Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your best bet is something Firefox-based if you're on desktop (hardened to the nines, with uBO, LibRedirect and an email aliasing service extension like SimpleLogin). If on mobile, there are other Webkit browsers like Snowhaze and Orion that are pretty good.
