Yeah this article is not very convincing

Brave is great! No ads, Tor built in, and can install Chrome extensions. I don't use their crypto wallet and it's never bothered me

Ad will be injected soon. Tor is not built in.

Source? I've used Tor with Brave

I use brave and think it's the best browser available, so I'm not arguing against it or anything, but technically it just supports use of the onion protocol, it does not provide the same full suite of protections that the tor browser does

As Brave says themselves:

For users who currently require leakproof privacy, we recommend using the Tor Browser, which provides much stronger and well-tested protection against websites or eavesdroppers using advanced techniques to uncover a true IP address.
