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?

I don't trust brave but it does have features out of the box that no other browser has:

web torrents
Tor in private tabs

How does Brave Tor compared to the regular Tor browser? It is just work as the same or is there few stuff they added to make it much better?

Do not use it. Use only the Tor Browser since it's designed to make all users look the same. (Preferrably inside of a Whonix VM.)

I'm not too sure sorry, I haven't really used it much other than testing it out when I found out a about it.

I would imagine you have less control over specific Tor settings, but I am not 100% sure.
