I recommend brave to all my non technical friends and family. Of all the options it has the best out-of-the-box privacy settings. If Firefox's rise in the late 2000s taught us anything it's that being the recommended choice of technical people can spur on pretty big growth.

You can't really grow any more from >90% share currently. Chrome has won and you effectively just helping it to cement its monopoly by promoting Chrome-Pretending-To-Be-Not-Chrome. I understand that you do it with good intentions but the end would be zero privacy Googlenet. The only question is not "if" but "when".

I'm worried that is only true in the absence of a competing marketing budget. When nobody was pushing browsers, we had a voice. Now, it's hard to compete with the indoctrination of pervasive advertising of other browsers.
