Oh, come on, seriously?
The Brave Browser. I tried it a few months back (both android and PC) an I didn't like it. It has some built in privacy features options that are just one click away, but I couldn't get the feel for it. Then they added Tor which was the end of it for me. I prefer MS Edge. You have these new clone browsers coming up like Brave, Pale Moon, Water Fox, DuckDuckGo (Android) and so on. They jump on the band wagon of "privacy" and even "anonymously " but the browsers themselves are too busy/cluttering or two novice or questionable in their security updates. I prefer to add what extensions I want or don't want instead of having the browser through in a bunch of stuff already that bogs it down. Realistically if I bookmark the "Clear Browser Data" to my favorites tool bar here on the new Edge I can wipe out all my data with that one push of the tab.
I like Chrome, I'll admit it. I have Chrome Canary too now. I like the new Edge better but if I didn't have Edge I would use Chrome as my default (original Edge has been my default since I dropped IE in 2016 and I've been using IE as default since 1.0, right now Edge Canary believe it or not is my default I go too). Even though Brave is based off the Chromium project, I just couldn't get the feel for it. I also tried Firefox several times and their daily update beta version (Firefox Nightly) and that I couldn't' get a feel for either. Firefox is on a down slide and I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years it's fizzles out: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3199425/top-web-browsers-2019-firefox-flails-as-user-share-falls-again.html
That's just my feel for it. Everyone has their own.

Well, you've spent more time with it than, I. It's just a casual look-see, really, with me. Curiosity & intrigue, it's an IT thing 😉 Aside from the default ad-blocking, in the few minutes, I've had, looks similar to this, at a glance. Obviously, due to both being Chromium-based.
I've been quite happy with Edge and an ad blocked in place. Other than that, seems the protection & anti this or that is all here, (too).
Great note, btw. Good to have input from someone with a longer run with it.
I, too, have tried a few, over the years... primarily, so I wasn't clueless about what a client have have or mention. But, have, always, preferred (gone back to/stayed with) IE & then, thankfully, Edge. But, speaking of 'feel'... I just never cared for FF or Chrome.
And I, still, loathe the Chromium approach of swapped to full page for Settings et al. And, of course, Brave does it, too. I so hope Edge C does not have to use that approach & we can stay with what we have, now, in Edge. It's one Chromium style thing I do not like, at all.
Cheers,
