    I tried to install Brave and it almost nuked my PC. Completely jammed up. I uninstalled it immediately.

      Yeah so true!! I installed it, and it launched an attack to overheat and destroy my CPU. Thankfully I reacted quick enough, and unplugged my computer quickly. However when I turned it back on, all my files were gone. It was cryptomining without my consent. Absolutely crazy!
