Brave ads are off by default, as is Brave wallet. If you want crypto from watching ads, you can do that. It’s a feature aimed at help keeping the lights on for the company, but in no way is the browser “riddled” with adware or crypto. Nor is it a mess.
As for Eich, the dude donated money 10 years ago for something he personally believes, and even though what he believes is utter and complete shit, it doesn’t affect the tech.
