Windows registry

If you're using Windows, you can achieve even better results than the ones obtained by applying the section Brave Flags.

If you're not using Brave on Windows, please skip this section and go to Brave Flags instead.

Note: If you apply this method, you should skip the Brave Flags section, as we will completely disable all Brave bloatware at once.

How to create and apply the registry file

1. Create a txt file wherever you want. For example, create a file in your Desktop called brave_debloater.txt

2. Open the file and paste the content below

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave]
"BraveRewardsDisabled"=dword:00000001
"BraveWalletDisabled"=dword:00000001
"BraveVPNDisabled"=dword:00000001
"BraveAIChatEnabled"=dword:00000000

3. Save the file and change its extension to .reg. We named the file brave_debloater.txt so we will change it to brave_debloater.reg

4. Close Brave Browser if opened

5. Execute and click yes when asked

Now, if you open Brave, all bloatware will be gone.
