I don't get what "Browser Publishers" have to do with Brave taking the web by storm. To me it seems obvious, that as soon as a new medium arises and gets at least some popularity, everyone who is interested in online advertising will spend some money on having a spot there as well. It's not related to the sheer awesomeness of the scheme/solution but rather having a chance of getting another pair of eyeballs somewhere.

I like the concept of Brave browser, but the severe lack of extensions make it a nonstarter. Loading Chrome extensions into Brave looks complex to the extent where I'd rather just load up Chrome or Firefox.

You're probably talking about their electron version. They're in the process of switching to their chromium fork, where you should be able to just run all chrome extensions no problem.

My problem with Brave is that the BAT incentivizes publishers to grab as much of my attention as possible. More attention, more money. If Brave becomes successful, expect the internet to become even more addictive and abusive of human psychology.
