Brave is just crypto adware, they even went so far as to automatically append crypto exchange referral codes to urls [0]

Funded by Palantir Technologies by the way [1]

Their ad rewards system analyses and modifies the original webcontent, replacing existing ads with their own (and who knows what other code they inject) [2]

Then there's their hidden tracker URL whitelist [3]

No thanks.
