It may nominally have more secure defaults than Firefox (although I doubt it's better in the areas that matter.)
The problem is that the creators have demonstrated (by secretly injecting referral/affiliate links into URLs, and also by being crypto shills) that they are entirely untrustworthy. In a piece of software as security and privacy critical as a browser, such behavior is unacceptable.
Wow your argument is if you enabled the optional ads there are privacy issues? Why would you do that anyway?
