I don't know if I am missing a point or not but I don't exactly quiet get the hype as to me, it just chrome with poor man's uBlock Origin and their own crypto in the mix.

Like how it that different from me using ether Librewolf or even Google Chromium and install uBlock Origin compare to Brave?

Can you go into more detail about Librewolf having weak security? This is news to me.

Compared to Chromium.*

Not only LibreWolf but every FF based one.

You can check out this article since it explains it better than me: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

While it's not about the most recent version most if not all of its points are still true.

The job of madaidan/Spengler/GrapheneOS church is to hate and destroy FLOSS projects that condemn their actions or do not fall in line with them, and even attempt witch hunts on people that criticise them. I was a victim of it last year, as they hijacked the Matrix room of this very community (which I was unable to save since admins did not listen to me) and attempted to create fabricate projection lies against me because I moderate this place. https://archive.ph/acy2h
