Brave is (or at least, was) a good browser technically (as good as any Chromium implementation), at least while it still has the ability to turn off their crypto crap, the proxy/vpn integration and run a "clean" version, but I highly doubt those options will remain forever the way their wankbag of a CEO seems to want to go with it, he can not be trusted.

So no I cant say I trust them anymore, they will make money from you, in increasingly devious ways.

There are many, many better "Clean Chromium" browsers out there like Librewolf that are a better way to go.
