history:read - why do you need my account history?
i can potentially see why the others are needed but some clarification of exactly why these permissions are requested would be nice. how do i know the browser isn’t taking my full account history and then selling that data? is there a log of what data is requested and why?
and if the browser has open access to sending payments and crypto, what’s stopping it from sending a transaction without my knowledge?

You can separately buy/transfer/transact and swap BAT on Ethereum network in Brave wallet.
Regarding getting rewards BATs in Brave wallet, it is more due to KYC/AML issues but it is still possible via transfer from a custodian- Uphold/Gemini/BitFlyer.
To show your account balance in the widgets.
Just because there is a permission to “read” the history of the account, that doesn’t mean it will read all your transactions.
And the rest, i mean, if you are receiving payments from Rewards, you clearly need that permissions…
