I often switch between Chrome and Brave on Android and have respect for their work.
Users can't be blamed for trying any solutions that block third-party scripts as they can have a non-zero impact on page load performance. We also see many cases where folks are shipping far too much first-party script and sites need to take responsibility for auditing all of the code (1P, 3P) they're sending down.
Stepping back to the topic of tracking scripts and ads - my personal opinion is we need to explore models for the keeping sites we love monetarily sustainable while ensuring user-experience and user-choice regarding data sharing is respected as much as possible. While I can't comment as much on Google's own strategy here, as a user, I'd be happy if we shifted to sites that loaded fast and were more respectful of our privacy and data-sharing preferences.
