    Mostly not sharing with ISPs, and blocking trackers, cookies and some ads natively is nice too.

      Right but you also have to trust that the browser doesn’t send your info to its mothership. Because unlike cookies, trackers and such, it has access to all your data.

          Chromium doesn’t send much to the mothership. Chrome does. Its mothership is Google, yes. Brave’s mothership is Brave Software. Google probably knows the shade of your asshole. The point is, by using Brave, maybe Brave Software does too. This is a concern for any browser software. It’s why it matters what the software org behind it does for a living, as well as whether the software sends any data anywhere. The truth lies beyond the marketing wank from any one browser maker.
