I groaned hearing Louis Rossmann recommending Brave during one of his videos about Youtube ads. Firefox uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock would be a better recommendation.
or just librewolf \ Mull that comes with uBO already installed, if he don't want to let his users (that are probably techie, so idk why) install add-ons by themselves. Otherwise, I can't find a single reason of using brave lol
Brave provides a good balance between features and privacy for normal users.
I think many users will be uncomfortable with Mull and especially Librewolf.
(I personally use Mull but since it's limited in functionality I sometimes have to switch to a more fully featured browser, that browser being Brave.)
I really have no idea why they're limited in functionalities I think the only website that didn't work for me on mull is instagram (fuck it anyway). And librewolf portable solved the no updates for me (although there is an addon for letting u know about updates), while letting me back up my data more easily
Looks neat, but it still depends on Firefox so I don't mind supporting Firefox which is our last bastion against a Chrome monopoly.
