Brave is a cryptobro shithole grifter browser funded by Peter Thiel operating for profit. It’s as private as NordVPN - just PR’ed and marketed to shit, only larping to attract privacy conscious but misinformed people. Their business model is to develop their own ad platform and track you to shit. They swapped referral codes in, they track your downloads, they fucking promoted FTX - a notoriously obvious scam den, that is not software you want on your PC, made by people around which you would grip your kids and belongings tightly IRL

They don’t actually care for your privacy and its founder would most definitely sell your data to ICE given the chance.

Use these: Gecko-based: LibreWolf, Waterfox, Mullvad Browser Chromium-based: Cromite, Ungoogled Chromium

Specifically on iOS, use Orion, Reynard or straight up Safari - somehow even Safari is less dubious than Brave if you look at the network requests lol

Theil is one of the most evil creatures on this planet, and he holds Vance's leash. Nothing he is involved in should be used by the government, or anyone else.

Doesn’t work either.
