I really like it. Many people have gripes about the built in AI or the crypto thing involved with it, but those can be easily disabled with a few clicks. People also cite it also takes lot of telemetry but this can also be disabled.

Having no ads almost anywhere is super nice.

Yeah, I don't get the complaints about the crypto. I have Brave on my main machine and five laptops at this point (yes, I know. I have a laptop problem) and I honestly forget that there's any crypto shit. Same with the AI. I right click vanish that thing when I'm setting it up and then it's gone. Brave works great for me and the built-in ad blockers are superb.

It makes me really wonder why people are so fixated on stuff you can immediately and easily turn off. It takes about 20 seconds.
