In the "cons" column, Brave is still a for-profit and has a bunch of features that continue to give some people the ick. In the "pros" column, there's a bunch of "how to debloat Brave" content showing how to improve the default kitchen-sink confifguration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6cKFliWW6Q

I do turn off the wallet, VPN, AI and other bloat, but it's a minor inconvenience for a better browser.

That's an absurd amount of tuning to make a browser acceptable to use. What you're saying is that it's unusable as is out of the box.

It takes less than a minute, one time. "tuning" really isn't the word here, it's literally flicking a couple of toggles and you're done.

It's literally a handful of options on the settings page.
