I am with you, I love the anesthetics of a Casio but hate how the face has so much text.

How do you like the Instinct 3 Solar? I'm considering one for the exceptional battery life.

They address that in the FAQ:

Some early Brave Origin users have asked how Brave can maintain user privacy while requiring a purchase ID (either from a Brave premium account or from the App Store / Play Store).

Brave uses a blind token protocol based on Privacy Pass, which decouples payment identity from service usage. These privacy-preserving subscription credentials allow the browser to verify you have a valid purchase of a premium product (like Origin) without learning anything about you.

I wish they had developed the open source Inbox into a consumer hosted email service for users. It would have been nice to see more competition with Google and Microsoft.

In other words, they are doubling the annual subscription fee from $10 to $20.
