Brave's integrated ponzi scheme (magic Brave dollars) and fundamental dependency on Google's Chromium make it a no-go for me.

"Ponzi" and "magic" are not descriptors one would use if discussing this [objectively].

Fortunately, BAT is opt in, and you can get all of the superior privacy benefits of Brave without BAT playing any role in your browser experience.

I appreciate your point about BAT being opt-in. Maybe the language is a bit inflammatory for HN standards, but BAT has always seemed crummy to me.
