The hate for Brave is well earned. They launched with a totally scummy scheme of hiding ads on people's sites and collecting money "on their behalf" but they needed to then know to reach out to Brave to get it. They have done some not great stuff since then as well.

PSA: They held the tips for a while to see if the creator signed up, and if not sent the crypto back to the user. If it even was the user's, they put up a pool of the stuff out of their own pocket to jumpstart the tipping service and the whole thing might just be over the allocation of that pool, I don't remember the specifics.

In any case no one lost their stuff, bad UX was critiqued and bad UX was fixed.
