Only very few people are aware or care about the drama between Mozilla and Brave.
Most people will only trust the Data safety / Data Privacy section on the Play / App store (as they should):
- Firefox on Android: This app may share these data types with third parties: Location, Personal info and 3 others [0]
- Firefox on iOS: The following data may be collected and linked to your identity: Contact Info.
Data Not Linked to You. The following data may be collected but it is not linked to your identity: Location, Identifiers, Usage Data, Diagnostics [1]
- Brave on Android: No data shared with third parties, No data collected [2]
- Brave on iOS: No data shared with third parties, No data collected [3]
Data Not Linked to You. The following data may be collected but it is not linked to your identity: Identifiers, Usage Data [4]
It's evident, Brave collect way less data than Firefox on those platforms.
Maybe the problem of Mozilla is they feel entitled to the trust they gained when they were the open source browser against IE. But that trust erodes over time.

Developers that fill those informations.. So then saying over there that they do not collect does not mean they are not collecting something..
Also, Brave has already broken trust multiple times..

I do not trust Brave in a million years and would never replace Firefox with it..
Also, i bet that most people do not even know or look at those privacy information at the store.. although i agree they should..
Mozilla has broken trust multiple times as well. If you don't trust Brave because of that, then how on earth are you trusting Mozilla?
I do not trust the scetchy guy running it
I do not trust their relationship with crypto
I do not trust their business model
