With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Brave has been criticised for their in-browser shady crypto and most recently about sharing user data to be used for training AI, or something along those lines. In contrast ublock or umatrix are completely transparent plugins created by the community that has pretty much become the standard.

Vivaldi has adblock built in as well, but I'm not a huge fan of that either.

The crypto is a shitty gimmick but if you don't use it then it doesn't affect you at all.

I've never heard anything about user data being sold, do you have a source for that?
