They're remarkably scummy. They swapped out advertisements for a cryptocurrency scam.

Maybe the browser itself is OK. I've never used it.

You can use Brave without caring about cryptocurrency at all.

How's the browser a scam? I use it and enjoy it. I think their business model is the most egalitarian business model amongst all browsers.

The collect money on someone's behalf, without that person knowing. It's a scam. It would be like me taking money on behalf of you. Only I wouldn't tell you. And now someone thinks they are paying you by going through me.

Seems like a scam.

Blocking ads and depriving publishers of income is a scam. You are stealing from content creators. BAT gives more revenue to content creators than Google ever would.

But this is literally what Brave does by default.
