All I read is cryptocurrency hating.

Do they do anything that's bad for my privacy?

Your idea of ethical is overwriting affiliate links from small journalism sites that clearly state they're affiliate links and instead quietly replacing them with links that benefit a corporation that raised money off of crypto?

Cryptocurrency hating is good.

I guess if you like protest movements to have their funding cut-off by corporations (eg Occupy Wall Street)

Brave is a better choice than Google Chrome / Opera / Edge by miles.

Still, the only ethical choice is Firefox.

It's chromium with a different hat. If you trust chromium, you can probably trust this as easily.
