Same. I generally avoid Chrome-based browsers on all devices.

Google

The noun, not the verb

Do you have any evidence that a chromium derivative browser is less "private" than a Firefox derivative?

There's a lot of comments around this in the main thread. Mostly about how Google gets to dictate standards of the internet and how these aren't always privacy friendly.

I'll also add that it's easy for bad features to sneak in without users knowing. We happened to be talking about this issue in a related thread just the other day [0]. This one the Brave devs were even aware of bot users weren't... so it's kinda a good example of both points
