--- Sorry if this is too far off topic ---
This makes me find it funny that the Brave browser purposefully blocks all ads by default, seemingly without much negative recourse to the end user -- not directly, anyway.
edit: Point being the browser that capitalizes off of blockchain virtual currencies/tokens would purposefully block such a sneaky device.
Companies who want to advertise through the browser's ecosystem have to purchase the company's tokens on the Ethereum public chain and the end user has to OK viewing ads on sites they visit regularly in order for those publishers to see returns and the user doesn't have to OK anything at all. The browser capitalizes off of publishers/content providers who don't want to lose ad views, and the user base grows because of the late and growing public desire for privacy and dismissal of unwanted rampant advertising that is sometimes even quite inappropriate.

All that said, I'm quite excited to try this out, too.
Due to my regular dev workflow in JS I'm looking forward to it being published to NPM, so it can more easily be used as a module and bundled for the odd front end project/experiment.
