You do understand that Brave's philosophy is based on the utopian (maybe naïve,IMHO) idea of fair profit distribution and automatic revenue share, right? And thus as "left" as it can be if we are going for the political spectrum.

Also have you boycotted Javascript-related tech already? Because its founder was a big part of its development...

"Brave promotes a toxic business model centered in killing off internet's advertisement and providing their own in house solution. This is very bad for guaranteeing a healthy competition on the market, it creates an enormous walled garden."

So has anyone using an Adblock in the past 20 years. Also what do Ads have to do with market competition? And what is "toxic" about having a browser that promotes alternative revenue models?

This is a use case on how social media was a mistake. A random guy has issues installing some extension, doesn't know how browsers work and somehow, due to algorithms, got his inane opinion amplified and here we are debating Brave. All because of yet another ignorant opinion that somehow is considered authoritative...
