After learning that Mozilla was pro-censorship and deplatforming, I decided to uninstall Mozilla Firefox and install Brave. So far I'm pleased, it seems faster and has ad-blocking and tracking turned off by default. Also learned that the CEO of Firefox that was "cancelled" for his personal and private beliefs is the maker of Brave - so win win.

Oh, if you want to avoid using Google, there's a small search engine called Qwant. Microsoft also has Bing. Don't use DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo gives money to Google because they've borrowed their technology.
For e-mail, there's Protonmail.
For social media, the Win communities, of course, and Gab, and Minds.
Most of the browsers are going to be built off of the big two. Mainly firefox from what I have seen. These alternative browsers really just change the default settings of their parent browsers. You can do this yourself. The problem comes up because you don't really know what all the changes they made. I hear that the Brave browser has some kind of vpn integration. But there are problems with vpns.
That's partially true. Firefox has its own browser engine, but most browsers are built on top of chromium, a fully open source browser (not to confuse with Chrome). Then the browsers Chrome, Brave, Safari, Edge, Opera, all use chromium as base + they add significant features on top of it. Chrome adds google features on top of chromium. Brave adds brave features on top of chromium. For instance, the best privacy protection nowadays is on Brave, built natively as an extension to chromium. This is not just different settings, it's real feature. Brave in the end is still fully open source, Chrome on the other hand adds lots of closed source features hiding from users many things it does in the background.
I was trying to keep things simple. In the end, it is not so much of the browser you use, but how you use it. I would not go around just telling people to use brave and you will be secure.

Either he's lying or he doesn't know what he's saying. Either way, shouldn't listen to.
I haven't seen anything specific...I just noticed a couple of comments in some other posts. Maybe this question will clear things up for others, too.
Brave. The warnings you say are just you lying to keep people from using it.

Brave, because trolls like you are trying to keep people from using it.
