I don't see any of this as legitimate reasons to stop using Brave.
yes the CEO donated $1k some 10 years ago to anti-LGBT stuff, and that's bad, but kinda small fries in the totality of factors.
ads. Firefox has ads and trackers just like Brave. You can disable them on either.
you can also disable crypto.
hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.
What else ya got?
The "anti-LGBT stuff" is enough imo. It may be "small fries", but I'd rather not support someone (or their company) when they clearly don't support me.
That is your prerogative. I only speak for myself.
