So you seem pretty well versed in the topic and I’ve been using Brave for a very long time. But what chromium alternative would you recommend that tries to accomplish what Brave clearly isn’t doing well? I’m open to switching but also not really interested in Firefox.
I would not switch to a chromium-based browser at all. For lots of reasons, but if I had to pick one it would be to avoid creating a dominant browser and ceding control over web standards to a single entity the way MS used IE to do what they wanted and force everyone else to comply.
Those were dark times. I was still being forced to make sites IE5 compatible in 2015 — official support ended in 2005.
In the rare instance that I need a chromium browser, I use chromium. But there are very few websites for which I need it and I think I have found alternatives for them all.
Kind of. It’s still not nearly as effective as Firefox with uBlock and a few other extensions. The downside is that some sites are just broken on Firefox, and blocking ads, etc. makes a relative few sites unusable. Which, yeah, 99.999% of the time I’m fine with. Until it’s something I need to do for my day job.

Vivaldi has built in ad and tracking blocker and a much better UI.
