Brave is actually very good and seems to have a great blocker
ps. their mobile browser has also been great on older phones
No. Brave has a history of modifying links you click on to add affiliate information. The only time to use Brave is if user agent spoofing for "chrome only" websites doesn't make it work.
they appear to have stopped that 4 years ago and apologized for the mistake
Right, but I don't trust them as a result and I don't feel comfortable recommending them or not pointing it out. Meddling with links you click is malware behavior.
they have not acted as malware since correcting this mistake
