Brave does a lot of great things, actually.
I work in anti-fraud and it's really the only browser that at least tries to resist fingerprinting. Every other browser either refuses to protect its users (Chrome, Firefox) or has no market share to contest against privacy invasion (i.e. you'll get infinite captchas) so Brave is doing a lot of good things despite the problematic relationship with crypto.
You can also get Brave Origin which has all the crypto and AI stuff removed.
That being said even Brave didn't have enough mass to fully protect against fingerprinting and sadly removed their "strict mode" year or two ago due to constant cloudflare/captcha breaks. The standard mode is still lightyears ahead of chrome and firefox though.
LibreWolf seems to be pretty obsessed about privacy, is non-chromium, originates from Europe and is FOSS.
I'd say it's pretty competitive
LibreWolf is great!
When I said competitive I meant in sense of mass of users. It's easy to ignore 10 LibreWolf users who can't connect to your website due to Cloudflare spyware but much harder to ignore 10,000 Brave users.
