Brave Browser Now Includes a Built-In Crypto Wallet (engadget.com) 15
Brave has updated its desktop browser with a built-in crypto wallet that lets you buy, sell and swap with "almost any" asset. Engadget reports: While this won't always be more convenient, Brave claims the included wallet should carry fewer security risks and performance penalties than the usual browser add-ons. This is a self-custody wallet that still allows use of other wallets (such as Brave's legacy Crypto Wallets) and ties into hardware wallets from the likes of Trezor and Ledger. You can track crypto market data, find the best price matches and control portfolios that include NFTs. It supports EVM-compatible blockchains and is both open sourced and open licensed.
The wallet is available through the settings page in Brave 1.32. It's coming to Brave's mobile browsers "soon," the company said, and the Solana blockchain will become the default for decentralized app support in 2022.

We'll see I guess, but... (Score:3)
"almost any" asset eh? I find this pretty unlikely. Even wallets that support a large number of assets, such as Exodus, wouldn't get away with claiming "almost any". Very few work normally with the binance smart chain, and several wallets lack support for smaller and less profitable cryptocurrencies.

I do give Brave an "A" for effort. A wallet can be useful, although maybe for spending small amount online, where if it gets ransacked, it won't be a disaster, and one continues to use a hardware wallet for the big purchases.
It is nice seeing a browser maker add features that are not just allowing adware people more free reign.

Why were you using Brave to begin with, then? They have been pro-crypto currency from day 1. The entire add system it uses, are built with crypto currency in mind and rewards are in crypto currency.
For an alternative, I can recommend ungoogled: https://ungoogled-software.git... [github.io].
It's Chromium with all Google Services stripped out.

Yes, same (longer, even). You'll especially like it if you're an original Opera fan (Presto). I suppose most of us around here already know that though lol.
