I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.
There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

The main issues a lot of the FF purists on this site take with Brave is-
its a chrome fork, which is a hard stop for them, and thats a good enough reason alone to avoid a product given how anti-corporate and anti-google the residents of this site are.
the systems in the opt-in list are still part of the application. There is an anxiety that the developer may decide at a future time that those features are not opt-in/enabled by default after an update.
So the natural response is to advocate for browsers that simply do not have those features and are open-source so that users can verify rather than trust the dev team to not put features like that in the product. Or rigoursly vet every update installed on your system to prevent that stuff from being installrd in an update, which is not viable for most people… (Run apt update/upgrade and manually approve every package change, we will see you in a few days).
