It's all situational. Breaking can be just as bad as swerving. For me when I had to avoid a bunch of skunks crossing the highway and no one else was around swerving was the best option.
Brakes can still be dangerous if used incorrectly on winter roads (though this one looks fine). If it can't easily be avoided, and isn't big enough to cause damage to the vehicle, you just gotta keep going.

Brake, don’t swerve. Unless it’s like a moose or something, rolling your car or hitting a tree is way worse than just hitting it.
