Anyway, Brave source code is on github, (but who has time to audit the code?) since then, if the company listened to the community and things have changed in a good way for user, please let me know. Don't trust verify.

First red flag for me is the BAT. Many years ago, when it started, I was for it, but since I went down the rabbit hole for Bitcoin, I cannot stand BAT anymore.
fuck, that's disappointing, i use mozilla sometimes too, but brave is the daily driver.
which browser do you use instead?
I'm on Librewolf (a hardened version of Firefox) and Vivaldi for chrome-like experience.
Jitsi meet and other visio chat web based to share screen are not compatible on LibreWolf (nor Firefox). It's a shame we have to rely on chrome.
You can check ungoogled chromium that is a good recommendation.

drone show looks sick.
btw, you mentioned Brave (which i use as a browser) tracking practices and brainwashing marketing of the team - can you expand a bit on what you mean as i haven't heard anything
