Fork Chrome is usually easier said than done, as proven by the "success" of most FOSS forks, besides many key features aren't even in Chromium.

I am mostly a Firefox user, at least until it stays around.

Brave is ~0.05% market share.

It’s probably successful in that it’s a well known project within the tech community. And 0.05% of the global browser market is a lot of users and probably a decent business. (Are they profitable?)

But outside of HN type audiences, no one has heard of it.

It seems that they became profitable, weirdly enough, by having users opt-in to their own ads... in their ad-blocking browser [0].
