What Hacker News says

6 sources
- Brave blocks you more against Fingerprinting than Firefox with uBlock. https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ - Brave uses Chromium and uses better isolation and sandbox than Firefox. Especially on Android. - Brave has Adblock built-in natively. It's written in Rust, so Manifest v3 will not affect it. https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust - Brave is profitable on itself and not dependent on search engines money like Firefox. Not saying it's the best but I decided against Firefox because the technical and financial foundation looks better on Brave for me.
In Brave launches private search ads
