I never understood why anyone would use Brave, the payouts are small, the utility of the crypto is zero, and watching/seeing adverts is a nightmare. I honestly believe that blocking all advertising and sending a small monetary amount to someone providing value is a better way of supporting the people you care about.

I don't think people use Brave for any crypto stuff all that much. I use it to block ads.

I used it for the perceived level of privacy they pretended to offer. Guess I'm switching to Firefox tomorrow.

Yep, exactly my thought too. I've made too many hops but none of these products truly offer privacy.

I moved from Telegram to Signal for security only to learn more and more about the holes in Signal. At least Proton Mail is fine.
