Trust is a sliding scale. The majority of Braves code (at least for their browser) is open source, this means you should at least trust them more than companies whos products are wholly proprietary.
Code is either open source or it's not. Brave is not fully open source which means you have no proper way of vetting its operation.
From everything I've read, it is fully open source. What parts of the browser are not open source?
