Just stop using Brave and switch to Firefox. Chromium is spyware.
Chromium is open source, you can inspect the source code and build it yourself. It's not spyware by default.
If you're going to try to get people to switch to Firefox, give them a legit reason.
Also, Firefox itself has telemetry that some would say is spyware. Not to mention, Mozilla has done some sketchy stuff themselves. Recent one is enforcing blocking of extensions on specific domains without user's intervention and picking out their own preferred extensions. (https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/7/1.html)
