There are more problems with Brave than just the CEO. The Brave browser itself has quite a history of deceptive and ethically questionable practices, such as replacing ads with its own, conning people into donating to crypto wallets by making them think they're donating to creators, and sneaking in affiliate codes. A browser with that kind of record should never be trusted, especially by people who care about privacy.
At least one of this was a bug.
Whether or not any of it was a bug, the fact that it has this bad of a record when it's been around for less than 10 years means that they should not be trusted to provide the most important application on your computer. And if they are bugs, then that's even MORE of a reason you should stay far away, since they're obviously too clueless to be trusted with such a responsibility.
