I prefer Brave to Firefox, just because Mozilla is a pretty questionable company when it comes to ethics and censorship. That said, switching away from chrome is clearly the way to go imo

Mozilla is more questionable than Google? By using Brave you're still staying within the Google ecosystem, sending them the signal that their Chromium internet is the better one.
I swear - people have such a hard on for hating Mozilla because it fails to live up to an impossibly high standard, while giving all the other corporations doing actual harm a free pass.

The Mozilla foundation is overtly political. The fact that they also support a browser is secondary.

How much do you know about Brendan Eich?

I'll bite - if you dont use Firefox because of "questionable ethics", then I am quite surprised you decided to use Brave, considering their controversies. Also Brave is still based on Chrome's engine, and I dont think they'll be able to maintain their fork long-term, so if the reason to switch was to break the Chrome monopoly, then I'm not sure this switch really counts.

Brave seems much more questionable concerning ethics, given Eich's history

I'm sure Eich has political opinions, but he doesn't use the Brave blog to push them and he doesn't impose them on his contractors or customers in the way Mozilla does.
