Brave has a built-in adblocker and is not Chrome. If a user is able to make the switch to Brave, they might find it easier when they try to switch to something better like Librewolf or Firefox.

By having a browser that behaves 99% like the one they used for years before. Not everyone wants to spend time learning new tools and how said tools work, if a similar better tool exists, and is switched to, that’s alredy better than sticking with Ghrome
