Tor is off the table for me because it’s so slow. If you can point to some test sites or documentation that supports your choice, please include!

    Its is pretty easy to get rid of all the brave crap. You just need a policy file:

    # cat /etc/brave/policies/managed/brave_policies.json
{
    "BraveRewardsDisabled": true,
    "BraveWalletDisabled": true,
    "BraveVPNDisabled": 1,
    "BraveAIChatEnabled": true,
    "NewTabPageLocation": "https://search.brave.com/",
    "TorDisabled": false,
    "PasswordManagerEnabled": false,
    "DnsOverHttpsMode": "automatic"
}

      Yeah but i don’t want to recommend a browser to someone just for them to have some cryptocurrency, AI chatbot, and Ad reward program shoved in their face.

      And then telling them that they Can get rid of it, they just have to go make some file they don’t understand in a location on their hard drive they’ve never been to.

      Because being real, if Brave’s bloat was bundled into an antivirus software, it would rightfully raise red flags for anyone with standard computer literacy.
