What new features? I've been using it for years and it's been very steady, I've switched off their wallet and that's it.
Integration of Web3 features, including cryptocurrency wallets and NFT support.
Inclusion of Brave News and sponsored images on the new tab page.
Addition of a VPN service within the browser.
Feels very scammy and grifty for a project that's supposedly about user privacy.

Happened before I even started using it, and I've been using it for a long while now. Probably time to let this one go?

That's not a new feature, it's been in there since I started using it, and it's off by default and then easily hidden. It didn't turn up one day turned on.

Yeah I'll give you this one. I've turned this off... I mean they're developing free to use software, so I feel bad about it. I'd probably pay for Brave at this point, but I don't want to see ads ever. At least it's easy to turn off.

I think this one is fine? I used it once when I was staying at a hotel, it was easy to use, other than that it's just hidden.
