Can you back that statement up. You're saying that Brave inserts spam content in to pages? Do you have examples?

Never seen that myself in my time using Brave.

FWIW I quite like the BAT and affiliate link model and was made aware of both prior to my install.

That's not spam and I personally don't even have an issue with it

Noted, and bad, but I don't consider altering links to be "inserting spam".

to be fair, affiliate codes don't spike the CPU
