Don't use the crypto portion??

I don't know what else to tell you, you're not even paying for the browser, it's a free service. Any browser that implements an ad blocker is probably also going to have a lot of features you don't use

Just to vouch for this, I've been using Brave for many years. Haven't done a single crypto transaction in my life. Whatever crypto features it may have don't get in the way at all.

They get in the way of trust.

Same for the "in Rust" recommendation which is in about the same fanaticism ballpark as "AI".

You have to go out of your way to use any of the crypto features. None of them are forced on you any more than the built in TOR/IPFS/BitTorrent clients. It's just there if you want it.

"crypto-aligned" is such a gigantic red herring.

so use the --disable-features flag at runtime?

maybe go into brave://flags and disable the wallet?

or just admit you're only against Brave because Brendan Eich privately donated $2,000 to a failed CA Proposition?
