I don't know if I am missing a point or not but I don't exactly quiet get the hype as to me, it just chrome with poor man's uBlock Origin and their own crypto in the mix.

Like how it that different from me using ether Librewolf or even Google Chromium and install uBlock Origin compare to Brave?

Sometimes I need Chromium. I always want an ad-blocker, though. So the two best choices are Vivaldi and Brave.

Vivaldi is closed-source, which is bad. But it has a lot of good customization options, and is transparent about its monetization.

Brave is open-source, but tries to get you into crypto junk. You can turn that off, but you have to do it for every different machine.

I currently use a combination of Librewolf and Vivaldi. But my setup shifts around a lot.
