I switched to using brave after reports emerged about google chrome not being reliable in terms of security. There have been many bugs and vulnerabilities which chrome devs strangely never got around to fixing.
Brave uses the Chromium engine just like Chrome and a few other browsers. I've been using Vivaldi for a month now and it's faster and uses less memory than Chrome. I tried Brave awhile back but at the time at least it didn't have the features I like.
