Brave Rewards are disabled by default, along with the wallet, VPN and other things.
Most features in Brave are opt-in, not opt-out. I don't know why people think otherwise. This is not Chrome or Edge.
- orbital-decay 3y agoGP's point was that the browser is adware. It really is - it exists on the advertisement revenue, even if you could use it without viewing ads. Rewards are neither opt-in nor opt-out: during the installation you're offered to try them, have to make your choice, and disable the UI elements afterwards with a relaunch.
- NayamAmarshe 3y agoRewards are opt-in, not opt-out. The whole point of 'opt-in' is to give users a choice. Besides, I'd rather have this level of adware than Chrome level of spyware. It's also a lot better than any other mainstream browser out there. Firefox has tons of ads too and Chrome and Edge, let's not go there.
- lern_too_spel 3y ago> let's not go there. Why not go there? Because it shows Brave is adware and Chrome is not? What ads does Chrome have? Even to opt-in to? Note that Brave's opt in dialog is itself an ad. After you dismiss it, the ad continues to live permanently in browser settings.
