Are tip buttons injected onto sites can they be disabled?

Description of the issue:
Are tip buttons injected into a web page and if so how can I disable them?

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Navigate to https://www.reddit.com/r/bravebrowser/
    At this point every post listed has a ‘Tip’ button for tipping BAT. The pop-up seems to be native to the browser so I’d imagine Brave is injecting markup.

Expected result:

  1. I would expect an option to disable code being injected into pages by my browser. I can’t find this option in brave://rewards/, brave://flags or brave://settings

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 0.68.132 Chromium: 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:

You can, @chrysoprase. Go to brave://rewards > Tips section > Tips Settings (orange box)

tip-setting-1

then disable the option for Reddit and/or Twitter.

Thank you, that seems to have removed them. So is it safe to say that it’s the browser injecting them and not the website implementing to a browser protocol then?

Are there any plans to give a browser control to tip in this way without injecting markup?

Bumping this ticket so it doesn’t get locked, as I still don’t know if ads are getting injected or if the website is developing to a Browser API.
