Brave Browser > Firefox (aussie.zone)

I've read many posts asking users to download Firefox but when a noob like me goes to google play store, it shows Firefox collects user activity, location and other data but for Brave it says that Brave doesn't collect any data or share any data. A company like google must do a thorough investigation before putting an app of their play store. Experts who hold degree in computer science, data science etc and are privacy advocates please explain me why not to use Brave?

I‘m not too much into this drama but something about crypto stuff getting pushed by the makers. Otherwise, firefox just works well. Everything else you need to wait for other comments or use a search engine.
