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.
