Pros

Cons
Con Same security-holes as Chrome
On the desktop: Brave uses the same browser engine as Chrome, meaning it has the same security-holes as Chrome. Chrome is a big target for hackers (being the most popular browser in the world), and a webpage that will hack Chrome may also hack Brave.
However, Brave has security features that Chrome doesn't (such as a built-in adblocker). Those features will stop many hacking attempts.

I trust Brave and like both its speed and ad-blocking feature. The android version is nice, though not as comfy as it can be, e.g. no speed dial, limited bookmark support.
