Anybody else using Brave browser?

I just downloaded and started using Brave. All I've done is make it the default browser and import bookmarks from Chrome. Are there any other settings I should know about or addons to make it run better? In their addons they recommended Microsoft Edge but since I've never used it before I don't see why I would be using it now. Should I add that on for some reason?

I am also using AdGuard 7.0, which I installed before Brave. Is the built in ad blocker for Brave good enough to make AdGuard redundant? I've never had any problems with Chrome but I want to get away from Google as much as I can. I have DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and I'm hoping this is a worthy replacement.

Great idea, Try it where it can’t do any damage to your main machine. It came on slowly, First brave would not even install and work. So I uninstalled it. Then after a couple updates using the updater I started getting warnings telling me that the updater would no longer work. I tried it anyways and was able to update a few times then it started refusing to update at all. Then I started to question why “Amazonaws.com” is involved with Brave at all...

Here are the errors I saved from the event.
