being in the camp of "nothing ever good comes from adds", I've never considered Brave.

A browser is a remote code execution engine for attacker-controlled content. Looking at their bounties on H1 https://hackerone.com/brave/hacktivity they are still solving problems which Mozilla and Google have researched and extinguished long ago. I don't trust Brave to get the security right. Also Ethereum is a scam and doesn't scale but that's a whole other topic.

As for their claims around paying content generators with their fake monopoly money, this article was absolutely on point.
