What's the use case for the Brave browser?

Saw a meme with a small reference to the browser in the last thread I posted. Has me wondering, who is brave actually for? I tried it out a couple times many years ago, and it felt very sketchy (though that might be the cromium blood in its veins). From what I've seen its not popular in free software communities, nor with the general public, nor gamer's or any other subset of users, so whats the niche they're going after?
Brave appears to have the best privacy scorecard of all chromium-based browsers: https://privacytests.org/
Although Mullvad Browser is currently ranked higher (and Mullvad is all free software without any DRM, whereas Brave does allow DRM). But Mullvad is based on Firefox and Tor Browser, whereas Brave is based on chromium.
I know that the academic researchers love Brave for all its privacy features. There have been a few academic research articles written over the years extolling the benefits of Brave's approach to privacy.
