(Because I can't think of any) Who, in 2019, are the "cherished underdogs of today"?
- bubblethink 8y agoMozilla probably if you are thinking of household names. AMD and RISC-V have some optimism on the hardware side.
- maxencecornet 8y ago>Who, in 2019, are the "cherished underdogs of today"? My guess: - Email: Protonmail get recommended all the time on HN/Reddit - Analytics: Simpleanalytics seems to be the new champion - Search Engine: DuckDuckGo - Browser: Probably Vivaldi, or maybe Brave
- ehrtt 8y agoBrave stole a lot of bitcoin from people by converting it into their useless/worthless BAT.
- maxencecornet 8y ago>Brave stole a lot of bitcoin from people by converting it into their useless/worthless BAT. What is this even supposed to mean? I'm both a Brave publisher (4 verified websites) and a Brave browser user, nothing like this ever happened As a publisher you can choose in which token you want to be paid, BTC, ETH or else, you are never forced to accept BAT. As you can see on this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/TKg1m0i https://imgur.com/a/TKg1m0i From the Brave publisher dashboard
- andirk 8y agoNot sure how one can say brave stole anything. Pretty sure i use their browser for free and buy my BAT on my own doing. And give it to publishers on my own doing
- matthewdgreen 8y agoI think both Github and Cloudfare are former cherished underdogs, both of which have undergone the first-phase conversion to "no longer underdogs but still widely appreciated". We'll have to see how they both fare post-acquisition/IPO.
