I mean, I fault Mozilla for that, and a lot of other things especially in light of recent developments. But Brave still fosters user dependency on a google project, ceding browser engine market dominance toward google. I might be bale to give Brave a pass for its faults if it was making strong moves in creating a truly free and open internet, but as-is they've basically taken an open-source project, applied their own branding, and baked in functionality that on a better engine can be replicated with more granular control by extensions.
