It's chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It's quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.

Is Firefox not also using chromium?

No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.

I did not know this, thank you.

Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.

What? I agree with a lot of the Brave criticism and don't think they're perfect by any means, but saying they "sell telemetry data to advertisers" is just false and a completely baseless claim.
