Can someone explain to me how this differentiates itself from (ungoogled) Chromium with a few tweaks?
How does it compare to Firefox privacy wise being based on chromium?

Same. I generally avoid Chrome-based browsers on all devices.
What privacy concerns do you have with Chromium?
Google
The noun, not the verb
Do you have any evidence that a chromium derivative browser is less "private" than a Firefox derivative?
There's a lot of comments around this in the main thread. Mostly about how Google gets to dictate standards of the internet and how these aren't always privacy friendly.
I'll also add that it's easy for bad features to sneak in without users knowing. We happened to be talking about this issue in a related thread just the other day [0]. This one the Brave devs were even aware of bot users weren't... so it's kinda a good example of both points
