As you say, Brave is an interesting browser. Christy suggested it to me several months ago, so I have been considering it as a chromium-based alternative to Firefox. I currently use Firefox with uBlock Origin and JS Toggle (and other plugins) as my main browser and this works well for me and my workflow. When I looked at LibreWolf awhile back there was some limitation or restriction (I don't recall what now) that did not work out for me, but it may work fine for you. I have not looked at Arkenfox, so I can't speak to that.
Firefox has some limitations, generally related to playing restricted streaming content (i.e., dishanywhere in my case) or with using passkeys, so I have been looking at chromium-based alternatives, which better support some of these use cases. Brave seems to be the best alternative, given that other chromium-based browsers will be dropping support for plugins such as uBlock Origin in the near future and Brave natively supports this functionality. As to the crypto, I think it is just a way to monetize the platform and my understanding is that it is not a requirement to participate and can be ignored or disabled. Just my 2 cents.
