I do NOT trust Brave browser. Why? Because :

• Brave spies on you
• Money-Servant
• Illegal and deceptive
• Cash-grab & double dip
• Primitive

Below are sources, alternatives Tor Browser, Firefox, Ungoogled-Chromium, and details for those interested

spy on you

• Brave browser spies on you and reports your activity to both Amazon, Criteo Corp, Highwinds Network Group, Facebook, Twitter
• Suspicious outbound connections from Brave browser on UDP port 137

Money-Servant

Brave browser is owned by a for-profit corporation "Brave Software, Inc.". It is not owned by a not-for-profit community. Usually a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve you and protect your privacy. In other words, Brave is risky to increasingly be a Money-Servant. Not a People-Servant.

"illegal and deceptive"

In April 2016, the CEO of the Newspaper Association of America, David Chavern, said that Brave's proposed replacement of advertising "should be viewed as illegal and deceptive by the courts, consumers, and those who value the creation of content".[20][21]

"cash-grab" & "double dip"

In January 2016, in reaction to Brave Software's initial announcement, Sebastian Anthony of Ars Technica described Brave as a "cash-grab" and a "double dip". Anthony concluded, "Brave is an interesting idea, but generally it's rather frowned upon to stick your own ads in front of someone else's". TechCrunch, Computerworld, and Engadget termed Brave's ad replacement plans "controversial" in 2016.
