i had a similar idea. a local client that scrapes (ahem, reads) forum sites and formats the content in a consistent way. with much more powerful UI. like tapata

oh, and it removes site ads and inserts it’s own. then it holds the forums hostage to get into its own ads model.
- jonathansampson 8y agoBrave doesn't insert ads onto publisher sites without publisher consent. We have a parallel digital advertising component (opt-in) which leverages machine-learning on your device to match ads, and pay you as much as 70% of the ad revenue. This model is faster, safer, and more beneficial to everybody involved.
- kodablah 8y agoI am going to build something similar to your first part, essentially a client-side proxy backed by a headless browser that serves up your favorite sites' content sans crap. To your second part, I won't be doing any of that ad replacement (consent or not, just like I don't with my Chromium-based browser with native ad blocking).
