To start a call, there is a requirement that you are 1) Using the Brave Browser 2) Have Brave Rewards (their crypto-and-ads service) turned on. Not loving that. Edit: the first one is fine (although a little strange that it is a requirement here but not for their other products, like Brave Search). I'm irked by the second one.
I bet you are loving that it's free though.
There are different definitions for "free".

a) advertise that Brave Rewards is required ("Brave Talk is free, ad-supported), or
b) have a payment tier between premium and free that allows me to pay-per-call or something, without the premium features.
damn... Brave is just crushing it. I've been using brave search and its amazing for development... the code samples are front and center

It is just very hard to trust them... they get caught on very hostile things again and again, when they promise that won't happen again. In the end, they are yet another ad based company.
EDIT: Some people took offense, so I am more explicit in my hypothetical here.
If this is true then its another shady thing by a self proclaimed privacy company.
They used to do the protection racket thing where they indirectly threatened website owners with the ultimatum that if they don't work with them, they will man-in-the-middle them to replace the website's ads with their own and not give them a cut of the profit.
Also, Brave has been caught modifying URLs and adding its own affiliate links in them compromising user privacy to earn $$$ for itself.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is Mozilla any better? They’ve lost their way and Google remains their largest source of income.
They have attempted many kinds of new business models. VPN partnership with Mullavad is really promising one, and maybe they finally get new source for income.
I wonder if Brave (the company) is what Mozilla would look like if Eich ended up being CEO of Mozila. EDIT: Some people took offense, so I am more explicit in my hypothetical here.
