“The question is not relevant. Brave does not — as far as I am aware — have direct frustrations with Google. Brave is growing nicely by being a particularly fast, excellent, and private browser. (It doesn't need regulators to help it grow.)”

That's a nice dig, right there.

Brave has covered much ground during its short time and I believe it's a good option for those using tablets and smartphones (which still are far from ideal devices due to Google).

Also the invention of BAT allows various sites to receive donations without being at the mercy of Paypal and the like.

But the SJW crowd tries to dissuade people from using Brave because they don't like :

Some employees of Mozilla Foundation (a separate organization from Mozilla Corporation) tweeted calls for his resignation, with reference to his donation of $1,000 to California Proposition 8, which called for the banning of same-sex marriage in California. This donation had first made international news in 2012. Eich stood by his decision to fund the campaign, but wrote on his blog that he was sorry for "causing pain" and pledged to promote equality at Mozilla. Some of the activists created an online campaign[citation needed] against Eich, with online dating site OkCupid automatically displaying a message to Firefox users with information about Eich's donation, and suggesting that users switch to a different browser (although giving them a link to continue with Firefox). Others at the Mozilla Corporation spoke out on their blogs in his favor. Board members wanted him to stay in the company in a different role. On April 3, 2014, Eich resigned as CEO and left Mozilla; in his personal blog, he posted, "under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader". The resignation also made international news, and was viewed as due to Eich's opposition to same-sex marriage.

If you mention Brave on various red-dit subs, they will start screaming how he opposes gay "marriage" and you shouldn't use his software.
