I would suggest to switch the preinstalled default Browser from Brave to Brave Origin. Brave Origin is free of this AI, Crypto and Ad Model Stuff which I find definetely better. And the Browser is available from the same Repo. So, there isn't it neccessary to set up something different.
I could be seen as an Arguement for Zorin, too because the Browser is free on Linux but on Windows You have to pay for it.
You don't need to do it that Way. There is a Menu Point in the standard Brave Browser where You can switch/upgrade/change (call it however You want) to Origin. I didn't do it. I uninstalled Brave and have installed Brave Origin then.
