I’ve used the browser for a few months. Recently I’ve noticed it having lots of performance issues. Also, the search engine is pretty bad and also has errors.
I’m considering moving on from Brave. Anyone else have thoughts?

Use Firefox modified or LibreWolf (and Mull on Android).
PLEASE DO NOT USE BRAVE
Brave Browser is funded by DoD: https://np.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/fe34ls/exclusive_brave_browser_funded_by_dod_contractor/
Brave traffic detected with Cryptocompare despite BAT rewards disabled: https://unddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gr8nue/
Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.
Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)

I see cryptocurrency, i uninstall browser. As simple as that lol, didn’t know about the other stuff but it’s not surprising at all, but at this point everything is funded by big tech, even Mozilla.
Fuck, is there anything I can use these days without being spied on?
Yes. There is a privacy oriented soft-fork of Firefox called “LibreWolf”. It’s Firefox minus all the mozilla shit no one asked for.
If you happen to run a GNU/Linux-libre distro there is also Iceweasel in your package repositories which is basically like LibreWolf but goes a step further and also removes all support for DRM crap that for example sites like Netflix rely on.
Apply arkenfox’s user.js on Firefox, use uBlock Origin medium mode and use Energized HOSTS systemwide. 95% of the work is done.
Also, read the first line to my comment that you replied to.
