That's partly it's strength. It's more like clean Chromium which is super thin to run and easy to dev on top of. It's not designed to be feature packed but simple, secure/privacy focused, and lighter than other browsers.

...and Chromium is the Open Source software underpinning Brave and Google Chrome. It's the bones of both their apps and the basic version runs on raspi's and more.

Brave is based on Chromium, the Opoen Source base of Edge and Chrome. One of the reasons it works so well is it is rather stripped down vs Edge/Chrome and much more classic simple Chromium which is REALLY good on just about every platform given you just need a web browser.

I've used Brave and deployed it for an org but haven't focused on it in a while. I can see it being a great browser but I also think the BAT thing is not worth it.

Like, the browser is great. The token/etc component seems like a waste of dev time outside of the marketing it brings via buzzwords. At least with MSFT points in Edge, MSFT is massive and not losing dev time they can't pull form elsewhere (not a crypto feature but also rather unused).
