Brave still ships wallet, rewards, Leo, and crypto clutter by default. They sell Brave Origin for about $60 to strip it. Linux gets Origin free. Windows and Mac pay. @oxcipity’s BraveDebloater does the desktop strip with enterprise policies. Current-user mode. No admin. Dry-run first. Hash-check the zip. Then -Apply. Backups. Shields stay. Free. Paying for a cleaner Brave is optional if you can run a script. Remember 2020. Brave auto-filled affiliate codes on crypto URLs you typed. Binance. Coinbase. Ledger. Trezor. They called it a mistake. The trust dent stayed. Keep Brave? Strip it. Want less theater: Vivaldi (privacy focused, no AI push) or Firefox climbing back. https://github.com/osfv/BraveDebloater
