More accurately a subset of super-nerds who care about extensions and privacy will switch from Chrome.

For regular people, if Brave somehow started eating meaningful chunks of Google's market share they'd just integrate contributor into Chrome and get roughly the same effect.

Not to mention Brave is written in Electron/JS so it'll perform worse than Chrome does.

Yeah I gave up on Brave and switched to Opera, it feels about as snappy as chrome to me.
