The coins and subscription and other stuff on Brave is so annoying. And seemls like you couldn't trust them. I still use it for work, but I don't really like it much. LibreWolf is better for me. And I also using a ungoogled chromium. Firefox is my main Browser at the moment. The sync over all my devices is just to good. But lets see if I'll switch or not.
There are just so many hoops one has time to jump through. Most of these derivatives break key extensions or commercial web apps.
I actually noticed at least with @YakiHonne -- that uses quite a lot of browser memory -- that Brave was MUCH slower than Chrome. I think Chrome does some magic memory management stuff that they aren't sharing with Chromium. I was a long-time Brave user, but, really, if they are trying to pump altcoins and other nonsense, can you really trust them?
LibreWolf has good hardening settings for the average user. However, I go deep into about:config and use settings I've used ever since I found a document on how to harden Firefox (Anonymous Planet has a good one on anonymity).

maybe firefox-esr is better as it's used mostly by companies then big tech are usually much more causcious with companies than people, as a comapny can take them to court with better laywers and more money. But that's just my speculation.
