Brave version (brave://version info)

1.52.130 Chromium: 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit)
c3029382d11c5f499e4fc317353a43d411a5ce1c-refs/branch-heads/5735@{#1394}

Version/Channel Information:

  • Reproduces in the current release
  • Reproduces in Nightly (1.58.2 Chromium: 115.0.5790.56 (Official Build) nightly (64-bit))

Other Additional Information:

  • Disabling Rewards does not affect this (and probably shouldn't)
  • Reasonably Brave-specific

Shame this didn't get any traction. I tried Brave for the first time in a couple of years today. Once again, it's the impossible-to-truly-disable crypto baggage that scared me off. I found this while searching for a solution for the menu problem.

I am also trying to remove the wallet entry but it seems its hardcoded as i disabled everything in brave://flags that had wallet in name and description

They can be disabled using policies. A brave article lists some of them:
https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039248271-Group-Policy

They are written in /etc/static/brave/policies/managed/extra.json and also visible in brave://policy/

{
  "Brave AI Chat Enabled": false,
  "Brave Rewards Disabled": true,
  "Brave Shields Disabled For URLs": [],
  "Brave VPN Disabled": true,
  "Brave Wallet Disabled": true,
  "IPFS Enabled": false,
  "Password Manager Enabled": false,
  "Sync Disabled": true
}

If anyone happens to be using NixOS this is quite easy with the extraOpts option.

This is how settings look afterwards:

It would be nice if more could be removed like Web3, Brave Talk and Brave News. Ideally it would have been better if the privacy of Chromium was improved (or some other fork like ungoogled-chromium) to be on par with Brave itself as reported by the Brave employee who created the tests https://github.com/privacytests/privacytests.org (and results here https://privacytests.org/) but without the Brave additions, for those that do not need them.
