Disabling Brave Rewards on a new installation is not any harder than disabling Firefox’s Pocket crap, or Edge’s Copilot integration, or Chrome’s send-everything-to-Google behaviour.

I wish one day we can get a browser that serves the user instead of browser maker, but for now i’ll keep using Brave (it’s at least open source).

The safety argument doesn’t hold when the alternative is US cars. Chinese cars often get 5/5 on EuroNCAP, while US trucks don’t even qualify to get tested.
