I do and a lot of people I know also do. Just for added privacy, or anything sensitive but legal.

Tor became such a pleasant (and fast, unlike it used to be) experience that it can be used for general anon surfing.

I've used it to maintain normal(ish) internet service for myself when visiting places like China.

Unfortunately, such cases will always be less appealing to write about compared to "assassins for hire on the dark web", leading to this wrong generalization of what Tor is about.

Tor Browser routes all data via the Tor network. Brave is a standard browser with built in ad-ware.

This is amusingly uninformed. Saying nothing about the ad-ware comment, since that seems designed to deliberately obfuscate/obscure reality, you probably weren't aware of:

To OP - check out the issues, there's a reason it's still in beta: https://github.com/search?utf8=&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+org%3...
