Yeah I know, Agentic shit is enabled by default, but it has one switch. I am ok with that approach, I mean, I use brave as a browser and I always have to turn off all that crypto rubbish they have leftovers from the good old days where the hypetrain was bloody NFT and CryptoCrap. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

Just use Brave Browser. https://brave.com/ It's like de-Googled Chrome, as it's based on the same Open Source Chromium browser, has all of the ad-blocking and anti-fingerprint tools built in, and all of the Google taken out. You can also run popular browser extensions published for Chrome, but you don't need to worry about ad blocking, as Brave has you covered by default.
