I’ve been away from my computer for a few days and when I returned I have a pop-up for something called FTX. I am not real sure what this is or why it appeared. At first I thought it was some sort of scam or virus but I see now it has something to do with crypto currency. I don’t use crypto currency so have no need for FTX, assuming this is what’s it’s for. How do I get rid of this, assuming Brave purposely put it on their browser’s front page. ---

@dbsoccer, [FTX](https://ftx.com/en) is a crytpo currency exchange – what you’re seeing on your NTP is a widget that allows you to view/transact with your FTX account directly from within your browser. Nothing to worry about here! 🙂 If you want to get rid of it, simply click `Edit cards` on the widget there, then `Hide` for the FTX widget and you won’t see it anymore. Hope this helps! ---

Thanks. I am assuming this feature is something that was recently added?? Not sure why it appeared after I returned from being gone. It wasn’t there when I left. But thanks for clarifying. It is gone now ---
