Brave seems to pop up here every now and then. With its past history of scammy behaviour (https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-aff...) and how they collect money without actually promising to give it to people that they claim to act opn behalf of, its not a browser anyone should trust.

There are so many better alternatives to brave for those that want to donate to content creators or just browse the web. I have never understood the fascination or usefulness of brave. I would caution people against using it.

It's a matter of preference and threat models. Brave isn't perfect, and has had some controversy in their business practices. They also have some telemetry and cryptocurrency ads. For non-technical users I still think Brave is the best overall bet, especially on mobile devices. There's a great privacy comparison linked in a different thread.

For more technical people, ungoogled-chromium [1] is probably the cleanest option. It's completely free from ads, telemetry, "pings", "experiments", and the like.
