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 see it's not an extension, but it does use a brave:// url. Are those exposed to other extensions?

I know chrome could do that if you altered the chrome://flags/#extensions-on-chrome-urls setting..."Enables running extensions on chrome:// URLs, where extensions explicitly request this permission"

Chromium isn’t an option?

There is no world- none whatsoever- in which I would trust a browser embedded wallet.

But you trust a random extention?

You don’t need an extension. There are software wallets and hardware wallets that are not extensions.
