online experience by allowing them to fine-tune various privacy and security settings. It offers
precise control over elements such as scripts, cookies, and protection against fingerprinting,

Tokens (BAT) by opting to view privacy-respecting ads. Users have the choice to contribute their
earned BAT tokens to their preferred websites, creators, or retain them for themselves. This
innovative system aims to provide an alternative model for supporting content creators while
ensuring user privacy.
