They already said that the Brave API is cheaper for them. That’s the motive. They keep charging the same but pay less.

I don’t want to have to opt out
If the value proposition for users is so great, then make it opt-in!
The fact that they’re not willing to go this far tells you everything you need to know: that it’s user hostile.

I’m pretty sure it would require some major rewriting to make it opt-in. Plus they probably want the better experience for the majority of people who don’t care. I wouldn’t be so quick to draw conclusions

What rewrite would it take? If I can opt out it’s optional. All they have to do is change the default.
