The issue around Tor is not a reason to avoid Brave. It has a lot of other good attributes for the common people. And I like it’s attempt to let you support websites while blocking intrusive ads.
Brave is interesting, and I do play with it. I utterly distrust it, though, and do nothing important with it.
having brave control which ads you see, will lead to the same awful situation when adBlockPlus was stolen for profit: any company could pay to be whitelisted.
