After updating miniconda3, whenever I open a terminal it shows "(base)" in front of my username and host.

In this answer post https://askubuntu.com/a/1113206/315699 it was suggested to use

conda config --set changeps1 False

To remove it.

But that would remove the indication for any conda environment. I would like to remove it only for the base one, so that I can maintain it always active and have access to its python and installed packages without having to always see this (base) taking up space.

That's because conda's base environment is activated on startup.

To set the auto_activate_base parameter to false, type:

conda config --set auto_activate_base false
