That was dumb. I noticed in the replies that there is someone forking Brave to remove all the BAT stuff along with their adware: https://github.com/braver-browser
If you like Brave's browser but dislike their bs, that could be an interesting project to follow.

Now I am hesitant to say that the brave are worthy of use because so far I have found what should not be done as an application that protects privacy, correcting mistakes does not mean they deserve to be accepted back into the community.
What a way to destroy your project for a few bucks...
I have friends holding BAT with high expectation. Brave browser hijacking links and affiliate codes are not good for BAT Holders.
This is really bad for users who using Brave browser, maybe this problems started from here Brave and Binance Partner to Bring Crypto Trading Directly Into the Browser.
Also on 1 years ago, brave browser is not really "private/anonymous" browser when they ask KYC to verify the wallet for BAT Tokens Brave, the so called "privacy" browser now requires KYC!
I would suggest to use Tor or Mozilla Firefox if you aware about your privacy
Anyway this thread has been discussed before New stupid/greedy move from Brave Browser
