- elbrian 8y agoThe article seems like a thinly-veiled advertisement for Brave, in my opinion.
- pushpop 8y agoYeah, I got that impression too
- wildylion 8y agoWhich is, to put it bluntly, a blatant cash-grab that tries to redirect whatever ad cash flow it could catch into their own pocket. Best of all, their website puts Brave's selling point as 'not letting other browsers treat you as a product'. Yeah, fat chance. update: a quick look later, nothing I could not have done using standard open source tools like HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger and/or uBlock Origin.
- jccalhoun 8y agoIt is more like an attempt to just get hits for his site. Most of the user's activity is submitting links to his own site: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=willhallonline https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=willhallonline
- numbers 8y agolooks like they're just estimates and mostly 15 years ago it was either IE or Firefox.
- samyem 8y agoRemember back then Firefox was not a thing. The history is: Netcape->Mozilla->Phoenix->Firebird->Firefox
