I use Brave an don't understand the hate it gets. Seems like a good alternative to Chrome if you don't like ads. Can someone fill me in on where the hate comes from?

I wasn't aware of the tipping controversy. That's not a good look, but I don't use their crypto features (apart from IPFS every once in a while).
No tech company is squeaky clean in 2024, and Brave's baggage seems better than Chrome's.
There is also Vivaldi to consider.
