unlock Origin is a huge performance hog on my system, whereas Brave runs as fast as Chrome. Thank you for the heads up, but for people in the middle ground of "I know what ads are and I want them blocked, and when I see a Brave ad I'll ignore it", I think Brave is fine

I believe these Indy devs get paid when you boot a game you got for free, so I’m happy to install stuff and boot it once just to support gaming in general
