Why people always forget the simple:

Brave is an Ad company that want to replace google ads

Switching Google to Brave is not an upgrade is a sidegrade.

Firefox is

Dependant on Google's ad revenue
Joining the advertising market themselves

Dependant on Google's money, the majority of Google comes from ads but not all of them. The deal is not directly with ads, is the default search engine on Firefox.
This is recently, sucks a lot but we did not see yet how they'll use that with the browser.

More importantly the biggest difference is Brave want to be like Google, is the goal of the company. Mozilla is funding the project in the shittiest way possible but is not the end goal.

You are right, I should have been more specific. He's openly homophobic. I'm also pretty sure that's not the case for Mozilla as he was Mozilla's CEO and was pushed out over this specific thing.

I don't know why you are shifting from CEO to employees.
