Most of the arguments I have seen against it are ethos based, which imo is valid considering privacy involves a lot of trust in the company itself. Brave has had a bad track record with doing shady things (def the crypto part) but also things like blocking ads and replacing it with their own, and leaking TOR DNS records among other shady practices/mistakes. Plus on top of that it is based on chromium (maintained by Google) which for some might be a pro or a con.
Why is brave bad, other than the crypto in the browser and link redirects?
