I don't particularly care for the remnant of Mozilla either, but it's not at all clear to me that Brave is a better option. It seems very much like they're trying to position themselves as a kinder, gentler flavor of adtech. I don't want that; I hate that the modern web has turned into an adtech ouroboros, and I want a browser whose mission is to gut the whole thing, not a browser with a new recipe for a more delicious tail.

Brave user-private ads are opt in, so I don't agree on your positioning. Ad-tech is always intermediation between advertisers and publishers. We don't puts ads in page at all, and only in user inventory when the user opts in -- and they get 70% of the gross, to align interests. No data collection at all (ad matching against pushed catalog; confirmed via Privacy Pass like protocol, moving on-chain with Solana). HTH
