Do you find any notable downsides to using Brave? I was with Kagi until they introduced limit to the 10$/month paid tier.

They are not relevant, the author made a totally irrational choice by benchmarking under Windows, not realizing the Deck is marketed as a Linux machine first and foremost, and they should be ashamed of themself.
