Maybe. But in that case, that's not a great sign that Brave respects your privacy. But I wouldn't put it past Brave: they too are a for-profit and I don't quite trust them either.
However, the Bromite fork I run on my deGoogled phone almost certainly doesn't make any privacy compromises and it solves reCAPTCHAs more easily than Firefox Mobile.
Any Web browser that claims privacy and security while using chromium as its base isn't worth the risk, they may have implemented fixes and added their own proprietary code, but it's still chromium and Google most likely hides a bunch of stuff from devs so they can't mess with it.
Chromium is open source.
It's still made by Google, tho, so can you really trust that there's no hidden shit? This is a company that is trying to create a monopoly over website access.
