The Community Debloated Brave Before Brave Did

No rewards. No wallet. No VPN upsell. No AI. Just a browser that browses.

Brave Origin is an upcoming official build from Brave Software that rips out every non-essential feature — rewards, crypto wallet, VPN, AI (Leo), telemetry, news feed, all of it. What’s left is Brave Shields + Chromium + nothing else. Free on Linux, one-time purchase on other platforms.

It’s not out yet — but you can get the same result right now with community tools. Details below.
