Repost 3: How to turn off ad for DuckDuckGo on Brave’s new tabs

This is a 3rd repost of the unresolved problem that is still happening on iPhones and iPads.

On both my iPhone and my iPad, after I changed the default search engine to Startpage, whenever I open a new tab in Brave there is a big button-shaped ad for DuckDuckGo in the middle of the page blocking the beautiful wallpaper.

I haven’t found a way to turn it off. Is this a mandatory ad that we are forced to look at? Do we get paid BAT for it?

Previously, someone replied that I could turn off the ad on DuckDuckGo’s website, however that method requires cookies which I delete after every session, so it would not work.

Bump bump bump bump bump bump.
