My view: Brave browser is a pretty useless Chrome reskin with crypto ads attached. Brave search is a pretty new and exciting alternative to Google.
The crypto bit alone makes the browser super-sketchy. By now, I think everybody has realized crypto is a giant scam.
It has very good ad blocker / fingerprinting protection out of the box. Pretty useful! Brave Search is definetly exciting with it's own index, pretty good results and AI summarizer.
I am sure those who bought bitcoin relatively early and are sitting on $100K+ worth of bitcoin disagree…
You're got going to magically turn into one of these people by using Brave btw.
I am one of those people.
The circus is that way.
