I wasn't aware of the tipping controversy. That's not a good look, but I don't use their crypto features (apart from IPFS every once in a while).
No tech company is squeaky clean in 2024, and Brave's baggage seems better than Chrome's.
firefox is a lot easier to use than brave imo (since in brave you have to change half the settings to get it to work well)
This hasn't been my experience
Firefox doesn't even come with ublock origin installed, brave has all the lists built in and will even ask you to block the cookie prompts as well without having to go the adblock settings.
There is also Vivaldi to consider.
Brave ain't exactly perfect, but at least they aren't sucking at the tit of Google's Search monopoly.
