Pretty sad because it is the only privacy oriented browser left.

Safari has dropped support for any privacy oriented extensions, and while Chrome might support them, everything you do with it goes through Google anyway.

That while Firefox can run uBlock Origin, has the Facebook container built in and you can even install a 3rd party Google container.

Brave (which is led by Br. E. who was fired from Mozilla) is privacy oriented.

Eich resigned. He doesn't like people saying he was fired.[1]

Nobody likes to say he is fired (it's bad when looking for a new job).

No company likes to say publicly it fired someone (it's bad for hiring new people).

This one is not privacy violation although it’s significant misbehaving. Thanks for sharing!

Brave has plenty of deliberate "misbehaving" and therefore is not to be trusted.

rather "privacy privacy privacy" is the only play they have left

I happen to like that though.
