This is what I get on a degoogled Android 13 custom ROM. What OS/device are you using? Did you opt out of sending stats to Brave when you installed?
This article is FUD for the most part:
- replacing ads - nope, by default you don't see any replacement ads, rather you see the least amount of ads on any chromium based option out there (e.g. Brave is the only browser I've found that still blocks the vast majority of ads on YouTube videos). You need to opt in to see replacement ads
- affilate links - yeah, that was some bs that happened 4 years ago, they were called out on it, and they promptly removed them, and these things have never appeared again.
Regarding the crypto stuff - that is by default off, again you need to opt in to it. Now, there is basic usage stats that are sent back to Brave that are on by default, but these can be turned off easily in the settings.
If there is any real objection that can be made to Brave it's that the CEO has contributed cash to anti-gay-marriage campaigns in the past (which is why he has fired from Mozilla) and that he has expressed some reactionary political views in social media. I can understand people boycotting Brave for that.
Meanwhile, Brave is the only browser I've found that completely passes the EFF's test at coveryoutracks.eff.org - and in other pricacy and security audits it performs always at "best in class" levels.
Show me another browser that can fully pass the EFF's and other privacy tests, and I will switch.
It's not out yet, but there is a kickstarter from German company Volla, coming in the next few days for a 12" tablet running a Mediatek soc that will be capable of running Ubuntu Touch - for which you can use UT native apps, webapps, some Linux desktop apps via their "Libertine" container, and some Android apps via "Waydroid." And Volla has an excellent track record of delivering on their product promises - in contrast to Purism.
Or you can use browsers that can be set to not "phone home" - e.g.Brave, Librewolf - there are in fact a few privacy respecting options in this.
Edge is better if you are wanting to always have your data mined by Microsoft, for sure.
Katie Porter's star dims in failed US Senate bid, leaving the Californian facing an uncertain future
All I know is I received so many daily texts and emails from her campaign begging for money that it seriously turned me off, and I don't even live in CA.
As far as tablet usage goes - with Ubuntu 23.10 running the latest "Surface Linux" kernel on my Surface Go gen 1, Wayland is finally buttery smooth. Screen rotation with Wayland is near instant, where as on xorg takes a couple seconds.
I can't say the same for my dual boot desktop that has an Nvidia 1050ti in it going to a 55" tv monitor via HDMI though - had to hook up a second monitor from dvi just to be able to login - which was not the case on Xorg.
Oh well, baby steps, but Wayland is definitely growing up fast and getting closer to being daily dtiver ready for nearly all use cases.

I like Librewolf a lot, and do use it sometimes on desktop, but they do not offer a mobile version, and there have been a few web pages I have found it was not compatible with.
