Yeah, those are opt in. Go to settings - "Brave Rewards" to disable ads in push notifications.

If the person you're replying to didn't turn it on and it's on, it's not opt-in. That's opt-out.

My assumption is that OP turned it on, but forgot about doing it at some point. This feature in Brave is advertised as opt-in and it was off by default for me each time I've installed this browser.

I would be happier if Brave made an "Enterprise" version of their browser without the Tor or crypto stuff. My company recently banned the use of Brave because it is a Tor client. I had been using Brave as a Chrome-adjacent browser for testing and web dev but I've had to go back to the Google-monitored version of Chrome.

I'd recommend Vivaldi, they have a similar privacy and user control ethos. More toggles, a smidge less tinfoil, 0% evil.

I wish there were more Firefox forks. I would love to have some of the features of Vivaldi, but running with Firefox's underlying engine. But that just isn't a thing, as far as I'm aware.

Why a fork though ? about:config + addons probably allows you to make it the browser you want already.

I'm meaning in terms of appearance, and especially customizing shortcuts. I already use Firefox customized mostly to my liking, but I don't like having the same generic (very tall) top bar that everyone gets. Tab management leaves some to be desired compared to Vivaldi. Yes, there are extensions for that, but they don't function as sleek.

You need something that's integrated into the browser to use web apps that integrate with cryptocurrencies. Like if you want to use uniswap you need metamask or something else that integrates with the webpage.

WalletConnect/WalletLink solve this problem.
