Brave's bitcoin integration is under the hood, only exposed in beta but it'll be hidden. Our long-term play is to build the anti-Google, your personal data platform. Ad networks have not "gone too far" -- the whole system is broken, with malware entering 3rd party ad exchanges and fake users browsing fake publisher sites to steal ad revenue (https://whiteops.com/methbot https://whiteops.com/methbot). Google facilitates and profits from all of this. Don't be distracted by intrusiveness, however bad and block-worthy. Tracking required by ads whether intrusive or not is the higher priority. It enriches a few and loots user data, if not exposing them to malware then abusing them with retargeting, online to offline breaches, and the like. Third party ads and tracking form a system that is stiffing publishers year over year, leading to eventual ruin. Brave is 3-6x faster than Chrome on Android and not just by blocking ads: blocking trackers is required and those scripts and the "programmatic waterfall" or "header bidder wrappers" or other such junk are to blame.

BrendanEich claiming ad networks are stiffing publishers while his product robs them entirely is really fucking rich. Go fuck yourself you ass clown. I'd say you're nothing more than a petty thief, but the numbers show that's not even close to true. The real money you're keeping out of the pockets of hard working publishers for the product they provide is in the millions. And you plan on circumventing with your own revenue model. All under the guise of speed. You're a snake oil salesman of the highest order, selling someone else's product as if it's your own. Then again, even snake oil salesmen bought their own snake oil to sell. You just steal it. There is no apt analogy as everyone else who has done what you're trying to do has ended up in jail. May the same fait befall you.
