[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 1065797, member: 71262"] As suggested by [USER=48923]@uninfected1[/USER] I've created this seetings and feature thread. I'll update this thread with major Brave version/feature updates. Current stable version is Brave v. 1.60.118 Brave is a privacy-friendly Chromium browser supported by optional Brave Ads and Brave Rewards with corresponding Crypto & Wallet features. Users may opt into viewing Brave Ads and receive BAT payments. This review is focused on setting up Brave as a privacy browser with most of those optional features disabled. [I]Note: Please no discussion of Brave Rewards in this thread!
