Replacing <br> for regular space " ".

const yourString = "Hello<br>I am a On then sake home is am leaf<br> Of suspicion do departure at extremely he believing.<br> Do know said mind do rent they oh hope of <br> General enquire picture letters garrets on offices of no on<br> Say one hearing between excited evening all inhabit thought you<br> Style begin mr heard by in music tried do<br> To unreserved projection no introduced invitation<br>"

const result = yourString
.replace(/<br>/gi," ")      // REPLACES ALL <br> OCCURRENCES FOR A REGULAR SPACE
.replace(/\s+/g," ")        // REPLACES POSSIBLE MULTIPLE SPACES FOR A SINGLE SPACE
.trim();                    // REMOVES POSSIBLE SPACES FROM THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE STRING
  
console.log(result);

Replacing <br> for regular new lines "\n".

const yourString = "Hello<br>I am a On then sake home is am leaf<br> Of suspicion do departure at extremely he believing.<br> Do know said mind do rent they oh hope of <br> General enquire picture letters garrets on offices of no on<br> Say one hearing between excited evening all inhabit thought you<br> Style begin mr heard by in music tried do<br> To unreserved projection no introduced invitation<br>"

const result = yourString
.replace(/<br>\s*/gi,"\n")      // REPLACES ALL <br> FOLLOWED BY 0 OR MORE SAPCES FOR A NEW LINE
.trim();                    // REMOVES POSSIBLE SPACES FROM THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE STRING
  
console.log(result);
