Ads on Brave are opt-in (and not embedded on webpages anyway) and the "crypto nonsense" is a way for them to try to stay afloat without having to accept money from Google and the likes.

Let's hear it then because I'm using Brave and don't see the opt-out.

They are opt-out, not opt-in. Big difference.

  Opt-in. Someone else linked Brave's blog below. Read it. https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/38305898674957-How-do-I-hide-or-disable-features-in-Brave https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/38305898674957-H...

    Have you ever actually used Brave? Because then you would have noticed the huge glowing opt-out billboard of a new tab page.

      It's my primary browser since a few years. If you are talking about sponsored backgrounds, good luck finding any "major" browser that doesn't have something sponsored on it (opt-out).
