yeah the only point it has thats actually interesting is crypto, though for anyone who doesnt care about it will probably not like the browser (seriously what does it have that others dont?)

i kind of doubt brave is less shitty than degoogled chromium. also, the whole crypto thing already makes it shittier than most others.

It's also the more relevant criticism, the entanglement of Brave with crypto, but within the chromium ecosystem, it IS the best you can get.

I use ~~arch~~ firefox btw.
