Personally, after a discord discussion, I started searching a little more information about various browsers and their various benefits compared to their scandals. I can easily say, there's not a single browser I came across that was free of something morally defunct. I definitely think it's worth sharing your experiences and preferences, as that can open doors for people that didn't know about what was available. However, to claim that you choose your browser based on morals... is a little questionable xD
I'd argue the same is true for IM services (we use Discord and they are definitely assholes), Game Devs, Web Devs and more. I'm not sure there is any true moral high ground when it comes to the internet and technologies/companies that surround it.
This is opinion and mine alone so don't take this as an attack on your favorite browsers, especially Brave, since that's the admin's favorite one to use. I don't think you should trust anything other than Tor browser for privacy. It's what it was designed for. All other browsers act as stand-ins and you can merely scratch the surface of your threat matrix. Everyone is different and we all have different definitions of "threat" but I've worked with people that are government contractors and the only way we communicated was through Tor and Jabber w/ OTR (Off The Record) and now OMEMO is a big thing. That's saying something. You can ignore the facts all you want but these technologies were designed for government use and adopted by the general public and there are extensive reviews into their security. I'll stick with what I use, because it's the devil I know.
While these are great for anonymity, I doubt there's many people that use TOR/OTR exclusively. Brave also has TOR built into it as a feature.
