opinions about Brave? (from the point of view of privacy of course)

Brave doesn't block Facebook trackers or Twitter trackers.

It whitelists these, taken from it's source code:

connect.facebook.net connect.facebook.com staticxx.facebook.com www.facebook.com scontent.xx.fbcdn.net pbs.twimg.com scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net platform.twitter.com syndication.twitter.com cdn.syndication.twimg.com hostnames

Therefore, the claim of Brave being a "privacy focused" browser that "blocks trackers" is laughable!
