this whole thing is terribly written... lol
how about you just use which ever shitty browser you like?
and i'll use firefox
I don't care what his political affiliations are, if the product works I'll use it. What an absolute set of incompetent garbage.
Someone's been trying to push this agenda against brave, because I've seen this same post a few weeks ago.

I have stopped using Brave. Fuck those guys.
I just wish Firefox would update less frequently. It's way too often.
You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

There is nothing wrong with Brave. It's a great browser. I like the cryptocurrency aspect of it.
There is plenty wrong with Brave, the business.
Brave, the browser, is very useful in a practical sense. It has some nice features out of the box, and if you disable the naughty out of the box features it's pretty decent. However, you have to trust that each update from the developer is good, and past experience raises very serious questions with this particular business.
Maybe you might be seeing some returns from the cryptocurrency. My undestanding is that users have lost far more than they've gained - and that's before you actually look into the true value of what users are sacrificing in exchange for their tokens. Meanwhile, Brave are pulling a steady revenue making money from their users, milking them just so.

I use Brave as a secondary browser for PWAs on the desktop. I wish Firefox would support it again.

STOP USING JAVACRIPT
Here’s my current problem: I use Firefox mainly, but I need a chromium browser for work occasionally. I feel like brave is better than chrome proper right? But the CEO is also terrible. Is there something I can use that’s chromium based (occasional usage) that is at least “the least bad” option?
Use one of the "clean" versions of Chromium (not Chrome) from Woolyss.com
If you want updates to be handled automatically, you can use ChrLauncher
EDIT: I guess you can't use the latter on OSX.

I use brave because it doesn't apply chrome or edge group policies. If someone can tell me a better chromium based Browser (or firefox based) that does this, I'm all ears...
It’s only a matter of time until Eich sells all of Brave’s users down the river.
Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.
