Brave also inadvertently helps Google by contributing to the overall stats of Blink users and decreasing Firefox's visible marketshare. Firefox's shrinking marketshare marks it for "death" in a lot of little papercut ways. More users using Gecko would send more messages to web developers investing in which markets to pursue.
