      What are you talking about? I use brave and haven’t seen a single ad in ages.
      If I ever accidentally open the wrong browser, I can tell immediately.

      There is a way to “opt-in” to view ads from their own pool of ads in exchange for crypto… But that’s automatically disabled, and there’s a toggle to hide all of the crypto stuff anyway.

        I’m having deja vu. I’ve gotten this confused before and looked it up before and they don’t. I’m misremembering something from some forum post they made but I also couldn’t find that forum post last time. Regardless, their official FAQ says they don’t. I’ve deleted the comment above now.

          I think you were mixing it up with Google Chrome.

          Google made an announcement sometime back that they wanted to improve the standards for advertising, and if there were any ads that didn’t meet those standards they would have Chrome automatically block it.
