I won't be using Brave until it is built and packaged by a mainstream Linux distribution, following a process I can trust. I absolutely do not trust Brave's binaries. The company has a history of deceiving users (it was caught injecting affiliate links) and is openly hostile to forks, very ironically. The fact that it comes bundled with crapware is concerning enough.
Brave took crypto donations in name of creators who didn't know about or signed up for their project. Not a lawyer, but this is straight up fraud.
"the elephant in the room" is that this is a scam company.
The idea that you'd ever trust someone with claims of "privacy" when they do that crap is ludicrous.
