Services aren't added in the equation. With services, like Netflix, Office365, etc, the US runs a trade surplus.

But you’d trust it to Brave?

I hadn't ever really considered doing so, but probably not. (I'm not the person who mentioned Brave, btw)

I’d pick a different Chromium based browser maybe Vivaldi if I was you

I personally wouldn't trust all my most valuable personal info to a small, closed-source browser like Vivaldi

Even better than Brave is a "no-name" browser like Ungoogled Chromium made to protect actual privacy, not the interests of some company!

No thinly-modified version of Chromium is going to save us from Google having almost unilateral power over the implementation of web standards, creating a browser monoculture. None of these forks is making substantive changes to the browser engine; it's often just Chromium with a few configuration tweaks and cosmetic enhancements.
