Brave has built-in wallet support and such, but I don't think it does any mining, does it? It just has its own opt-in ad system to pays out in crypto and is also owned by a turd.
Being owned by a turd is reason enough not to use it.
I use tons of software developed by people with whom I would probably disagree on politics.
Rejecting a program because one of the developers said something you didn't like is just childish.
That entirely depends on if there's an equivalent developed by not an asshole.
