      I installed Brave earlier this week and that’s mostly true. There’s some built in stuff that will show by default, notably the toolbar buttons and the notification style alert on the new tab page for one of those things mentioned, but you can just close the notification and remove the toolbar buttons and you’re set.

      That said, I think it’s still in the data monetization market like Alphabet with anonymized tokens, though I don’t remember the details.

        this is disabled by default, i think that is the BAT system that also uses crypto somehow

        i also made a handful of tweaks to tidy up the UI, easily done in the settings
