Isn't the idea of web3 to also be browser agnostic?
I 'm thinking about switching to brave because of these built-in crypto (and thus identity) features, but the thing is , i don't want to block ads because i run ads on some of my own websites. To me, the crypto features of brave are more important than their adblocking , they are the future.

Agreed. I recently tried to adopt Brave on iOS. There in-app marketing messages are cringe-worthy[1] and there isn't a way to opt-out as far as I have found. This seems unethical, as I consider these messages as unwanted advertisements for MLM crypto projects. Brave removes paid ads from the internet, but subjects me to in-app advertisements for pyramid schemes (Sorry, I mean ground floor crypto investment opportunit…

There is no world- none whatsoever- in which I would trust a browser embedded wallet.
It's all about being a Dapp browser. The use case is getting access to Dapps.
