It's produced by a "Reputable" company and has a good update process. I can TRUST my software updates from brave.
"Ungoogled Chromium", while FOSS, have no good update method, and since i'm not going to build it myself, I don't have the same level of trust that something malicious hasn't been implanted.
Brave provides similar features to ungoogled chromium and I don't have to support Mozilla or Google and their practices.
Big issue is the trust factor. As well as all the Chrome zero days going out, not having security updates in a timely manner is risky.
- Grazester 6y agoThere is a a lot of talk here about "Trust", that's somethings I cannot attribute to Brave. I am sorry.

- weinzierl 6y agoBrave is still new and when it comes to security, we will have to see how it turns out. You put quotes around reputable and rightly so. Brave just bought a ton of clickstream data, harvested stealthily by another "privacy-focused" browser. When it comes to privacy, no, I don't trust Brave an inch.
