Release Overview - Stable Versions
Keep in mind that the official changelog website is often behind actual release versions, the website is maintained by marketing people. Also note that not every single change/issue is mentioned in the release notes, because lots of changes are done in the background e.g. filter-list changes etc.

Brave ads are off by default, as is Brave wallet. If you want crypto from watching ads, you can do that. It's a feature aimed at help keeping the lights on for the company, but in no way is the browser "riddled" with adware or crypto. Nor is it a mess.
As for Eich, the dude donated money 10 years ago for something he personally believes, and even though what he believes is utter and complete shit, it doesn't affect the tech. Is one fucker really enough to condem the whole product and all the people working to provide for themselves and their families?
For me, no. If for you, yes, then just stop using it.
Context: I work in web development and would hate for my work to be judged and slandered, because of someone else who hasn't touched one line of the codebase.
Imagine following a community about a product you hate. People can be really stupid at times.
