Isn't the whole point of Brave that you are looking at ads for attention points? Why would you use Brave unless you're monetizing your own attention? Me, I prefer to not look at ads at all.

I thought it's Chrome with some adblocking capabilities. ...and people just deal with all the other crap they're adding. I currently use old firefox for pages where I need paywall extensions and Vivaldi (and occasionally the half baked new firefox) for normal browsing.

  People are confused then, perhaps Brave needs to make its marketing clearer. It was born from cryptocurrency, to give utility to BAT. The entire goal is to monetize your attention to profit from ads and the mechanism is their cryptocurrency. The “other crap they’re adding” is the entire purpose - adblocking is truly secondary to popularizing BAT.

Last I checked it's free software. The point of free software is to do what the user wants, because the user is free to fork or patch misfeatures like those. If it were proprietary, then yeah, it would have no point.

  Normal Chromium is also free software...
