Because Brave is literally a spyware.
N9t the person you replied to, and I'm not calling it spyware, but the moment I saw crypto integration I immediately lost all interest in Brave as an option. I personally don't think any individual/group/org/whatever integrating crypto into their software is someone trustworthy (as mentioned my opinion), so I can understand others not trusting Brave either. Whether it does anything bad today or not.
I think you're missing what I'm driving at, but that's ok, you do you.
The same site also states Firefox is also spyware. Why treat it good while treat Brave as bad?
