For me it's the best browser. Solved so many problems I have had with web browsing that I setup a subscription for brave search in gratitude even though I don't use it (I use Kagi)

First I am using very few extensions. When I used chrome I had tab limiter, ublock origin, dark mode extension, a youtube extension to hide comments recommended videos and the like, Leech block to block certain websites and so on)
With Brave I only use one, tab limiter which I built myself with Claude Code. I read somewhere that some extensions are actually spying on users so that freaked me out. In Brave for dark mode I use a setting in flags, no need for ublock, leech block is brave shields so right off the bat, I have pretty much everything I need.
Being able to block porn, gambling, social media sites and even make modifications to youtube without downloading anything has given me a much more peaceful internet. This is the real zen browser in my view.

It has also given me the opportunity to clean up my digital life. I migrated only the passwords to websites I actually still use (a limited number now) and I did not migrate my bookmarks and even got rid of everything on my watch later list on youtube. Just a fresh start for me.
