Preferrably one that is not involved in some kind of cryptocurrency scammery scheme.

Right so must exactly clone a very very large code base, for free, with no attempt to monetize (must compete with one of the worlds largest corporations with zero inbound resources whatsoever). Must also not attempt to add any features that users want, which may also help generate revenue. How do you expect anyone to take on Google, if when they make a single penny, they're called scammers? Don't let blind hatred of a particular technology bias you. You can think cryptocurrency is stupid, but it's not inherently a scam. Unless you have some proof that Brave is participating in scamming its users, which I would love to see proof of. Anyways I really don't think this kind of mudslinging is appropriate, particularly against a small company which appears to be working to prevent an advertising takeover of the internet. Edit: I posted this in an extremely sarcastic tone, which I apologize for, but this refrain "oh it has a crypto part, COMPANY IS SCAM" is getting extremely tiring and is, dare I say it, a stupid thing to say.

  Scam or not, their revenue is still based on ads. Some day there will be a day when user data is too tempting.

  I welcome you to disclose any holding in cryptocurrencies you have in interest of transparency about your financial incentives

    What a perverse implication. I suppose its a great theory for you tho - anyone who uses the currency is automatically part of the scam, thus there are no honest defenders, thus it is a scam! Q.E.D.! I own about 50 dollars of BAT, the currency that Brave uses, which I added to my wallet purely as a way of supporting Brave. I would happily -give you that 50 dollars- as a lesson about how none that changes ones opinions.

You can ignore the optional crypto stuff. I've been using Brave on mobile for years, and I don't see anything related to crypto at all.

You can disable their ad stuff and then it’s not (for you).
