I don’t have a strong opinion on brave, but here’s some reasons I can think of:
cryptocoin shit
based on chromium (so using this instead of firefox, for example, increases google’s hegemony – and this is true: even though chromium is open source, google completely controls its direction)
CEO is a homophobe
scammy business practices like inserting affiliate codes in urls
And this is just the stuff that I know from the top of my head. I don’t particularly care about this topic, so I’m sure there’s more. Although, having written all this out, I can sense that my opinion of Brave has worsened significantly.
Yeah I guess. Doesn’t really change any of the arguments against it though. I mean, it’s good that it’s open source of course, but the ceo is still a homophobe, for example. And it still chromium based, and so on.

Isn’t it open source ? Can someone build a fork with all of this shit removed ?

It’s based on Chromium, which is open source. It IS the fork.
