They will make it impossible for ad blockers to run in Chrome before much longer. Brave will then take their place on the throne of browsers for a while.
Brave has significant ideological issues, including its ties to cryptocurrency and that it replaces ads on sites with their own ads. And in the past they’ve done things like misusing their autocomplete to try to direct users to affiliates. Not to mention that it’s still Chromium under the hood, like basically every other major browser except Firefox.

Brave is Chromium though.
It’s also run by crypto shills, and they got caught editing URLs to be referral links (!) a while back.
