Your quote is worthless, that summary doesn't give any reason what's problematic about the browser.
It's also unfortunate that the article's author chose to start with politics - I prefer technical reasons to stop using technical tools.
The crypto bullshit and injection of affiliate codes to URLs are indeed problematic. However, to me that just says to stay vigilant when using Brave but it's still not as bad as Chrome.
Personally I use Firefox anyway but unfortunately, webdevs get lazier every year and only test Chromium browsers and sometimes some stupid website doesn't work correctly on Firefox. If it's something like an airline checkout I need a fallback browser and today that's Brave.
