Brave browser now blocks cookie banners

I love and use Brave. The page modification feature that adds BAT donate buttons is opt out, not opt in.

That said, they still let you opt out and they are one of the few browsers that still have a culture of making the web better for the end users.

Which is fucked up, that shit should be opt in like anything else.

I’m not as passionate about it as you, but I agree they broke their principal of being for the user by making it opt out. Among other issues, making it opt out makes it seem like large sites (like Twitter) endorse BAT. Maybe they do, but I doubt it.

Even Firefox's telemetry is opt-out.

Just checked on a fresh Nightly install, doesn't seem to insert tipping buttons anywhere if you haven't enabled Brave Rewards. I haven't, no tipping buttons anywhere.
