I doubt they’re doing anything to secerative in the background. Not a fan of Bat or their affiliate link scamdle, but also not a fan of Firefox’s ads, telemetry, trademark claims against Firefox forks, and accepting Google money for bad defaults - as I’m not a fan of Vivaldi being closed source and their adblock that doesn’t block all ads.
Brave is great for somebody who doesn’t know/want to configure defaults beyond optionally disabling Bat. If you can then Firefox & derivatives might give a better experience.
Brave is also Chromium based, but being a heavy fork it doesn’t hold onto the worst parts, making it more alright.
