I understand firefox is free software and greatly customisable. I think forks like LibreWolf are fantastic. But I believe the FOSS community needs to be more critical of mozilla. They haven’t been the sharpest tool in the drawer for a while…

Brave is not funded by an ad company like Google.
Because they are an ad company themselves, no ad company is going to fund them, they are competitors.
Apart from that Brave is dependant to Google way more. More than 90% of their browser’s code is by Google developers. They don’t even have their own store lol and distribute extensions in Brave through Google’s chrome store!
That’s independence? Calling Google for something basic like installing extensions to your browser?
I prefer Mozilla’s and Vivaldi’s model. They both get money from their search deals (Mozilla with Google, Vivaldi with Microsoft) but they are not ad companies themselves.
Yes, I wouldn’t use a browser from an ad company, no matter the size of the company.
