You're 100% correct, none of this is relevant to the problem. However...

Point No. 1 is irrelevant the most. Though being based on Chromium isn't really a bad thing necessarily. Brave has removed all google stinks from brave. They have a full list of what they've done, and it's very impressive.

Point No. 2 is not true. Brave doesn't run any mining software in the background. That's a myth. No one in the world runs the amount of monitoring I do on my computers, be it network monitoring, CPU, etc. Brave doesn't do anything like that. I would've noticed in a microsecond.

Point No. 3 is the cultist reason for this.
