Does it have a Windows browser, and does it perform just as well? I’m kind of sick of Firefox’s bloat.
EDIT: Read up more on its ad scheme. Sounds dirty.
All that is opt-in for now, not a thing on mobile at all yet, and it seems like an attempt to compromise between “no ads” and “sites need to make money to stay alive.” We’ll see what happens with their cryptocurrency thing and how paying both the user seeing the ads and the site owner using the ads actually works. Plus I like the idea of ads seen when you opt-in being vetted by the browser creators, and using the data from the user’s browser itself instead of from third party data mining companies to target the ads seen by the user.
Really it boils down to who you want having control over ads you see - tons of random third party services chosen by the websites you visit that track your shit, or just the company that makes the browser you use, who already track your shit, and only on sites that have partnered with them to share the revenue.
Of course, it’s entirely possible I’m not fully understanding some aspects of the way they intend this all to work, or that they could be obfuscating some things. But for now, I’m only using it on mobile, where all ads are still blocked and you can’t opt in to seeing Brave approved ads at all.
