So your complaints seem to come down to 2 icons, and a what's shown on the new tab page. To disable icons, right click on them and select hide. To change what new tab pages show search for "new tab page shows" in the settings and change it to your homepage, or a blank page - as preferred.

Most people referring to the "crypto stuff" are talking about that program where you get an ad every once in a while and get some crypto for viewing it. Certainly not a fan of it myself and would not use (let alone recommend) Brave, if it was imposed.

The Crypto shoehorn means I will never use Brave the browser, I'm just not interested in supporting the idea that every tiny action can be monetised. I use and support Fixefox for browsing.

Now I have no problem with their search engine if it is good. Alternatives are definitely needed. If they start pushing their token through it or weighing results based on the token in some way I might think again.
