Been using brave for a few years on mobile and desktop.

They uses to give away BAT, but they have refined their system to not give any unless you spend hours jumping through hoops and linking shoddy Chinese financial apps and crypto wallets.

I still use it for the privacy, but after reading this I will likely switch back to firefox or another chrome based browser.

That's pretty dumb. Brave is looking for any and every monetisation opportunity. Can't blame them, with competition having free browsers, but it doesn't exactly make them trustworthy.

Someone please make a fork of Brave without the nonsense?

I never liked Brave. I don't care for the crypto crap they add onto their browser

Firefox forever.

So few browsers left that support privacy

I never really liked brave to begin with, I feel safer implementing my privacy myself, and I think gecko just can do it better.

Did nobody read the article? The author is crying that Brave implemented a summary feature so users don't have to read through entire paragraphs to get to the actual content. Of course, he goes on and on about copyright and OpenAI, nothing really about user data.

Damn. Who knew that Brendan Eich was a shady pos.
