I've been test driving Brave for the past couple of months as Firefox has some usability, security, and performance concerns, and I've been very happy with it.
@atoponce check librewolf. Another and probably better alternative.
@techsaviours Firefox sandboxing is markedly less secure than Chromium. Knowing that LibreWolf is a Firefox fork, I assume it pulls in the same problems.

@atoponce @techsaviours Yes Librewolf is a privatized Firefox with integrated Ublock. If security is your higher concern, and you don't want the Brave additions, try Ungoogled Chromium https://ungoogled-software.github.io/
@atoponce @techsaviours If you mean syncing of bookmarks, https://www.xbrowsersync.org/ is awesome and cross browser. Sync creds with Keypass or Bitwarden. I recommend Brave to my mom and others who will not figure out all the browser settings some of us love to tinker with. I use just about every browser but for different purposes to compartmentalize activities.
@krock @techsaviours I sync more than just bookmarks. Tabs, form field data (usernames, passwords, addresses, etc), history, extensions, themes, etc. I sync it all.
I use both Bitwarden and KeePassXC for my password management, but I save all of my usernames and passwords into the browser password manager. It reduces a few different attack surfaces.
@atoponce @techsaviours Yes there is a trade off between security and privacy at times. Pwd managers have weak points. Managers allow some of us to have variable fingerprints with different browsers/apps and compartmentalize Google to Chrome, MS to Edge, Mastodon and its news links to TOR.. A super browser that would choose the right underlying browser automatically based on the URL entered would be slick, but thinking it through, it quickly seemed too complex. Brave is balanced.
@krock @techsaviours Ungoogled Chromium doesn't have sync which is a non-starter for me.
