Brave has been moving in a privacy- and user-unfriendly direction lately.
I've been heavily using Firefox on desktop and Android for 6+ months and have bumped into compatibility issues perhaps twice. Both times, I jumped into Chrome for a few minutes. Not a big sacrifice.
I think compatibility issues are massively overstated. As someone who typically uses Safari and Firefox (depending on platform), it’s rare that I run into a site that doesn’t work because of the browser I’m using. Far for often it’s because I’m running adblockers and don’t give Javascript free reign to do as it pleases.
When I do run into sites that don’t work in Safari or Firefox it’s usually either shoddily engineered or a google product.

Is any browser built on Chromium completely de-Googled? Brave is moving to a Chromium foundation.
