This doesn't give a balanced overview of the positives of Brave, for example they have Tor integration which is interesting: https://brave.com/tor-bridges/

Don't use Tor in any browser except the Tor browser. Since the whole point of Tor is being totally anonymous with no way to identify you, if you're able to be fingerprinted you've broken the whole thing and you shouldn't even bother. And yes, you can be fingerprinted in Brave, with a high reliability. The best browser for resisting fingerprinting is the Tor browser, followed by LibreWolf.

I'd expect it to be Mullvad's browser, considering it's literally an un-Tor'd Tor browser :p
