Discussion
From Matt ref this (3 years ago but I believe still valid)

I've explained this in the past but I'll say it again here.
First, we're perfectly happy for you to use Brave so let's get that out of the way.
Yes, Brave is built on Chromium but it's what it does extra that causes problems for us. Privacy is at the core of Brave, and we certainly respect that, but as part of that privacy our website is subject to arbitrary blocked calls to resources which affect the functionality of our website. The majority of questions we get in Website Feedback about something not working are a result of someone using Brave.
Therefore, we made the decision a few years back to not investigate or fix any issues caused by someone using Brave (or DuckDuckGo, or similar) and our stance is simply that we don't support it.
So, you can use Brave. Just don't complain when it doesn't work.
