I like it. I've been using it exclusively for the last 3 years and have not had any show stoppers with it.
The advertising angle of it is basically, it will block ads but also allows you to earn "bat" crypto (by watching brave ads) which can then be donated to websites that you choose. Basically, it offers a compromise of seeing ads, without tracking, and supporting the sites you like. I can see both good and bad in this concept. You do NOT have to participate in this and just block ads and trackers if you choose.
