I want to use your comment to outline a broader criticism of what Brave is about nowadays. In this case, it should be obvious that even Firefox is more innovative than Brave - Firefox plans to auto-reject based on intelligent patterns. This should, if done right, take care of almost all cookie prompts, especially if they also add a filterlist.
Brave has been in the business of blocking ads for a long time. Surprisingly it took them years to come up with cookie banner blocking, even though all they do is include a list maintained for free by easylist maintainers. This could have been implemented already 2 years ago without much effort.
What's going on at Brave? Is everyone busy with crypto-stuff?
Brave should work on detecting cookie-banners, even if they are not blocked by some list.
The Brave Browser looks like they abandoned many important things because they are focusing on crypto - the UI is very basic, the customization is not better than Chrome, and due to the addition of many optional features, some users have reported the browser slowing down significantly. Maybe they should offer different installers for different audiences.
People have asked about new-tab page customization for a long time. People have asked to have the uBO-functionality ported to the built-in Brave Shields, including cosmetic filtering, and granular control. People have asked for Brave to not activate the new-tab background sponsored images by default, which is in conflict with their user-first ideology. The VPN ad for guardianapp on iOS is too prominent and shows that they try to push it to increase revenue.
If Brendan Eich is worried about ROI, he should start putting contextual ads on his search engine, instead of focusing on in-browser ads.
