Not just blocking ads, you can anonymously support websites you visit, automatically through Brave Payments / Basic Attention Token. If grass-roots funding were to catch on, it could put a serious dent in websites' reliance on ad-revenue and subscriptions.

Brave is just normie-tier and easy for most boomers to understand. No fiddling with extensions and about:config, etc. Just install and run: you get a "good enough" internet condom. If you know what you're doing, you're better served by Waterfox + uMatrix + uBlock + HTTPS Everywhere, and something like Secret Agent, to protect against browser fingerprinting. Absolute control of what goes on in your browser.

I stopped using chrome when I noticed it actually scanned my document files. Switch to Brave!

What's so special about Brave? I don't get it. It's just Chromium with preinstalled adblock. Also, false advertising.

I don't mind Brave. I also have never seen this before lol that's a joke. Brave def takes longer, and the startup even on an ssd isn't the greatest.
