Just check the post of the last week or so. Feels like there are plenty about brave.
At this point someone might as well go ahead and set up a bot to post a daily “why u no like Brave?!” Megathread.
Weren't there a few privacy guides out there recommending it not too long ago?
I've read why people don't like it and I get it. I never used it myself. But I feel like some people in the privacy space were

Brave does get a mention in privacy guides, but the recommended configuration has you manually turning everything off. Think of that what you will
Personally it doesn't bother me a ton. I feel like I am either doing that or using a fork of something else
Yeah, it's a bit annoying. A megathread about the the best privacy focused search engine would be a thing too. :D
