...why not? Subversion of Youtube's advertising and revenue flow sounds like a prospect which enjoys high demand and low supply at the moment.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoGoogle kicked the Echo off of YouTube for TOS violations. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/youtube-is-no-longer-available-on-amazons-echo-show/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/youtube-is-no-longer...
- jMyles 9y agoI mean, you might then argue that the Echo (and, for that matter, Amazon generally) was insufficiently surreptitious about it. If Brave can be more difficult to distinguish, it will also be more difficult to ban.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoNo, you might then argue that. :) Look how Uber’s behavior with paging and canceling Lyft rides during their poaching days came back to bite them in the ass. And I’m sure if Amazon’s small army of lawyers felt they had a leg to stand on with the UserAgent obfuscation route, they would do it.
- skywhopper 9y agoBecause Google will not allow it if it starts impacting their revenue significantly.
- jMyles 9y agoI may be wrong about this, but I don't think the Brave browser intends to allow google to stop them. That's kinda the point of making it a different browser.
