How about no ads? Once you force ads into something I use or make it impossible for me to block them, it is time to find an alternative.
Lol. Probably Brave users think they gonna be rich by earning tokens for ads :) brave just uses peoples greed
this, it's a cryptomoney scheme. They need to promote Brave in order to increase the value of the cryptomoney token. There's also an affiliate referral link program I've seen spammed a couple of times
I'll never understand the normies that use Brave. They're like "it keeps my data private" blah blah blah. Don't trust nothing unless you can see it's code. Also really irritates me when they start recommending it to other uneducated people.
The problem is that there are too few eyes on the code, and Brave is not taken seriously in the cybersec circle, unlike how Firefox is used as base for Tor Browser.
Also, Brave's developers are malicious in intent, adding spyware, crypto junk and malware all the time, and posturing a lot in media to look good. Honeypot botnet.
Although I thought the same, you can just disable them
