I care about my privacy, though I like it’s UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

Yea I don’t think it’s bad for privacy, just there are better options out there which get you the same privacy while also addressing other issues? Issues like Chromium, history of controversies and shady behaviour (crypto, replacing ads with their own), the business model, and issues with the CEO.

Instead, why not just use standard Firefox? The only downside I’ve heard is that the default settings don’t do what Brave does when you first install each browser, but that’s a weak argument considering we all modify the settings anyway. Someone should just outline which Firefox settings should be flipped to match default Brave, and we can be done with the weekly ‘Why not Brave’ discussions

I use Firefox as my daily browser, and run Mullvad browser when I need to be cautious with a task.

Easier option is to use Librewolf since they do a lot of work for you
