Aren't ads opt in?
Navigate to: brave://settings/wallet
Set Default cyrptocurrency wallet to None, and set Show Brave Wallet icon on toolbar to off
1) I'm probably dumb, but on iOS putting brave://settings/wallet into the address bar puts me into Brave search results. No leading or trailing spaces.
2) This setting will disable in-app marketing messages? I'm interested in disabling the "Brave Rewards" in app notifications.
That's in settings, too... but aren't those opt-in? I could have sworn they were when I set up my profile for the first time. I'm going to re-install in a clean VM and see what their first-time user UX is like these days.
Blaming the user isn't the best path to ADUs. Brave's settings have many options and I wasn't sure which one would disable in-app advertisements. I think it is "Brave Rewards".
This seems unethical, as I consider these messages as unwanted advertisements for MLM crypto projects. Brave removes paid ads from the internet, but subjects me to in-app advertisements for pyramid schemes (Sorry, I mean ground floor crypto investment opportunities).
Background: I think BAT is fine and have no problem with it if it is communicated in a user centered way. Trying to fix the web's business model is an interesting experiment.
