Not really. I used it for ~2 years but after a conversation on irc 5 months ago I switched back to Firefox and I have been mostly using it ever since. Search I trust slightly more and the VPN I dont really trust at all. Also it is better to support firefox and other smaller browser engines so chromium does not have a monopoly on web browser engines. Now that I don't use mobile as much and I don't really care about syncing I am happy with firefox. I originally started using brave because I used an iPad a lot and brave was the only free ios browser with ad block back then. The history with injecting referrals into urls and all the crypto crap makes me not trust it much anymore.
