Wish the sun to stand still 🌞@drwhax Not everyone is aware Brave Inc. used scams to lure users into enabling their cryptocurrency-as-ad-tracking system. They even replaced links on some 3rd party sites to point to their own cryptocurrency links. This on top of basically being the 'Omarchy' of the browser scene.
I gave a hard No to that when Chromium and spinoffs of Firefox exist.
