Brave constantly shoves crypto crap in your face and tries to monetize your web browsing experience. It's awful.
Other than Firefox, you have Vivaldi and also other Chrome alternatives like Chromium too. Firefox preforms plenty fast so don't let rumor or hearsay stop you from trying it either.
Vivaldi is nice. They're a little aggressive in pushing their new features, but their hearts seem to be in the right place. It's run by ex-Opera people, and has a similar kind of feel to how Opera used to be when it was the #3 browser. It does still use the Chromium engine though.
As a former Firefox user that finally planted roots with Vivaldi, I agree with you about developer intent. It's refreshing to hear a team be loudly pro-privacy in this day and age.
I personally am a fan of the constant suite updates and feature creep, but hitting the update button does start to feel like Steam updates sometimes.
