I personally never liked Brave browser because it contradicts itself.

They talk about privacy and tracker protection and ad blocking a lot but they go ahead and add features that shows users advertisements and tracks them and they even have an anti-privacy thing through KYC (for brave reward thing which I think was BAT token or something like that).
That's against their core ethos.

In addition, you should generally avoid using a hot wallet as much as you can. And if that hot wallet is through the browser then it is even riskier to use.

And finally I should mention that in my opinion since we already have a good alternative called Firefox for privacy and ad blocking, etc. I don't see any reason to use Brave.
The feedback is excellent. I do find Brave helpful because many websites often display annoying pop-up ads. Another reason I use it is that when we watch YouTube videos, Brave automatically displays ads without requiring us to use YouTube Premium. For simple things, I feel Brave is still safe and relevant.
Regarding @Pooya87, I also agree with you regarding data security and its internal security cycle.
The experience I've shared is probably only for simple use. Regarding coins, I only know that they exist and can be used there. Thank you also for your advice and warnings. I am very grateful.
