Brave without all this crypto stuff?

I’m put off by the request to unblock my selfie camera and give some people I don’t know all sorts of personal information, the kind of intrusive attention I thought I was using Brave to avoid.

And I seem to get ads for crypto wallet stuff every few minutes now, which I never did before.

So what exactly is required to use Brave in a high privacy mode?

In the Brave / Settings / Brave Rewards (at the top), you can disable this functionality, and use without rewards :slight_smile:

Did that, and now I’m getting a lot of intrusive inline ads. Far more crap than I get with Firefox and adblock. I wish I could get across to the ad pushers that anything pushed into my attention unwanted is a thing I will never ever buy.

@hank,
As @fanboynz stated, if you properly disabled Brave Rewards in Settings, you should not be seeing any Brave Ads served to you. Can you share a screenshot of the type of ad(s) you’re seeing?

@hank,
So we’re talking about ads that appear in the web page directly. Are you seeing that advertisement on wayfair.com or anther wayfair domain? Or is it a separate/unrelated site?

It showed up at budgetlightforum.com, and I have no idea what “wayfair” is, never heard of it.

I reinstalled UBlocker, which seems to have fixed the problem.
