All the shitty chromium forks have the option (usually defaulted on) to remain running in the background even when closed. I honestly don't know why, other than advertising mining bitcoins...
Because by remaining active in the background, they'll open faster next time you're opening them.
For some reason people love to shit on Brave and turn a blind eye to mistakes made by Mozilla or problems with Firefox. Brave has had missteps in the past, as many projects have. This doesn't make it "malware."
