The IT/browser scene is VERY political.
Brave was created after mozilla went fully woke.
Brave CEO Brendan_Eich created the JavaScript programming language and co-founded the Mozilla project, the Mozilla Foundation, and the Mozilla Corporation.
He served as the Mozilla Corporation's chief technical officer before he was appointed chief executive officer, but resigned shortly after his appointment due to pressure over his opposition to same-sex marriage.
In 2020, The New York Times reported that Eich's comments about "the policy and science related to the coronavirus" on Twitter:
1) "Fauci lies a lot!",
2) "Masks don't work" ,
caused a backlash within the Mozilla browser's user base, commenting that this echoed the criticism that led to his resignation from Mozilla

interesting analysis of their licenses and privacy policies (brave vs firefox):

excerpt about brave (long reddit thread here):

Explicit Data Sale Policy:
Brave’s privacy policy is clear and unconditional on this point – Brave flatly states “We do not buy or sell personal data about consumers.”. Brave also emphasizes that it does not sell, trade, or transfer user information to third parties, period

Data Collection and Sharing Practices:
Brave, on the other hand, is designed to minimize data collection and almost never sends your browsing data to its servers in the first place. By default, Brave does not track your browsing history or habits on their servers – most information stays local to your device. Even features like Brave’s advertising system and web compatibility checks are built so that either no personal data leaves the browser, or only minimal, non-identifying data is transmitted. For instance, Brave’s built-in ad platform (Brave Rewards/Brave Ads) works by matching ads to the user locally; the browser downloads a catalog of ads and decides which to show without telling Brave or advertisers who you are or what you’re browsing. This means Brave can serve ads and earn revenue without any need to share your personal browsing data with advertisers or partners. The end result is that Brave can confidently avoid any data “sales” – there’s simply far less user information being exchanged with any third party.

Business Model and Data Monetization:
Brave’s model is built around privacy-preserving ads and services that don’t rely on exchanging user data with third parties. Brave generates revenue through its privacy-respecting ad system and premium offerings (like VPN or firewall services), which means it doesn’t need to trade user information with advertisers or partners for profit. The Brave browser even routes certain queries through an anonymous proxy or uses techniques like OHTTP-like relays to avoid exposing a user’s identifiers. Thanks to this approach, Brave can maintain a strict no-data-sharing stance and still fund its product. The key difference is that Brave engineered its ecosystem such that user data never becomes a commodity – thus it can unequivocally state it doesn’t sell or share personal data

it is a paid search engine ?

They have a free plan, but I recommend paying for it when you're satisfied with the product. The search quality is much better and their LLM integration is also good, so you don't need to pay for that separately. For privacy enthusiasts, the service also has some nice privacy features.
