I don't know how "privacy friendly" the Chromium branded chromium browser is. But if I had to use a chromium browser, and Edge wouldn't suffice, that's where I'd look. Brave would probably be last on my list of browser choices, because I don't even trust the installer to not give me a little bit of Palantir flavored malware. And that's to a degree that I wouldn't even run it in a VM on my daily driver.

If I wanted to spy on privacy minded individuals, who are harder to spy on than the average person, then I'd launch some privacy product, work up the hype, and have it spy for me. I could have formulated that idea before Brave was launched. Seeing how Brave is associated with Palantir, to me it's already fishy. And when it's main selling point is privacy and conducts themselves exactly like I would have expected a malicious actor to do, then I just don't use Brave.
