Interesting how one of the main selling points of Brave, the slightly-shady crypto currency thing, is not initialized on first start (unless it's hidden deep inside some JSON or done using a different kind of network protocol).

I suppose this is because they put it behind another layer of privacy agreements and terms of service. This is an improvement from the last time I tried it. They also added confirmation that a website is actually open to receiving tokens now, that's nice as well.

If Brave wasn't Chrome-based, I would've tried it. Sadly, the world seems to be converging on Google's One True Browser Engine and I don't want to support that.
