- "Sponsored" backgrounds (often crypto ads or credit cards!)
- "Cards" with more weird Crypto ads!
- Brave "news"
- Brave "rewards"
Yes I can turn all that of, and I have, but hard to recommend to normal users that dont spend 10min turning all the shit off.
They also did some weird link shit a while back.

- Sponsored Backgrounds: just random places of the world like tropical beaches, Buddhist temples or mountains.
- Cards? Nothing at all.
- Rewards and news are under the settings menu and seem to be off.
Maybe Apple's App Store conditions prevent Brave to do a lot of its crypto stuff.
On Android, Linux or Windows I'm a happy user of Vivaldi.
No, these are just random backgrounds. At some point I started seeing backgrounds advertising Crocs and stuff like that, at which point I discovered the Sponsored backgrounds option and turned that off, leaving me back with random pics of scenery
So... I looked up its configuration and looks like Sponsored Backgrounds are activated... But, they don't work at all. I deactivated them in case they suddenly start working.
