For Google Chrome and its two-billion-plus desktop users, May will go down as a month to forget: four zero-days and emergency update warnings inside ten days, launched a tidal wave of wall-to-wall headlines that were hard to miss.
The US government has warned federal employees to install May’s emergency updates or to cease using Chrome. And they have issued a June 3 deadline for the first of those updates to be applied. It’s now June 1, and so this is a timely reminder that you should ensure you have updated Chrome inside the next 72 hours.
Others organizations should do the same, and mandate full employee compliance.
Credit to Google for the speed and efficiency with which each emergency update was released and announced, notwithstanding the awkward PR. But there remains an urgency for users the world over the ensure the updates have installed. Chrome will update automatically, but users must then close and relaunch their browser.

Normally, sites like that want the latest version of either Chrome or Firefox so Firefox might be an option. If nothing else, you can use Chrome only on those sites that require it and use alternatives for everything else.
Also, go through all of Chrome's settings and turn off anything that looks like it would collect data. All those things that "improve your experience"

Brave is based off the Chromium subsystem, as is Google Chrome. Chromium updates itself, then all the browsers based off Chromium update theirs. So Brave will update itself and there really shouldn't a need (that I'm aware of) to worry. HOWEVER, it would probably be a good idea to check the Brave website, just to be on the safe side, to ensure you're ok.
