If you need a Chromium based browser, I would suggest Cromite. Otherwise, I recommend people use hardened Firefox or LibreWolf, especially considering Manifest V2 not being supported by Chromium unless forks maintain their own. The whole point of switching to V3 was to make adblock less effective. Thus, Firefox and its derivatives, which are not within the chromium ecosystem, which has its neck under Google's boot (though Mozilla is basically supported financially by Google, which is another story), are the best to use with uBlock Origin, which is generally the best adblock you can use.
brave is a cornucopia of blockchain scams and lies but it does a little ad blocking well so the average tech person doesn't bother fact checking any of it's marketing/privacy claims lmao
I don't trust Brave
