Well, it was good while it lasted. Moving away from Brave Browser
I read r/Privacy the other day and followed this post about Brave Browser.
Apparently, you can no longer disable the BAT thingy (=3rd party full KYC issued token), and not only is this bad on mobile:
according to /u/nukelr,
Something similar happens on the desktop version. "Disabling" BAT only make the icon disappear. If you check better in the browser's task manager you'll see 3 processes related to BAT which are still there (they say "inactive" ) and wasting memory.
which is a big NO on top.
What are the alternatives?
Well, for me it's back to Firefox on desktop, and Firefox Focus on Mobile.
Secure & Anonymous VPN - Uploadfilter? Censorship? No Thanks!

Can you explain? The bat thingy is the crypto service build into brave?
BAT is the watch ad for shitcoin addon they offer. apparently it's a complete mess, even if you do not even want to use it
