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.

Although I thought the same, you can just disable them

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.
