It uses a MITM attack to inject Cryptocurrency span into webpages. Sorry, it’s indefensible. Nobody is going to “get used to” the modern equivalent of viruses, especially when non-infected browsers are available.

Are we talking about the opt-in ads (which might contain "Cryptocurrency span") or the affiliate codes (which are injected into pages you've already decided to visit)?

Man any browser trying to pass off it being acceptable to inject affiliate codes in links just because you were going there anyways is some serious red flags and you should end that relationship promptly.

Brave is truly capitalist cancer in browser form. I thought we killed off IE & Netscape. Turns out they had a kid.

Adoption metrics say otherwise on both their browser and ad system but sure.
