I use Brave on my phone, a Chromium fork. It does not allow extensions but it has a built-in ad blocker and some privacy features.

  Too bad they're trying to monetize it. The new Basic Attention Token icon in the URL bar takes up so much real estate that it's almost pointless to have a URL bar in the first place.

    What? It's no bigger than any of the other icons and even that can be disabled. What are you seeing?

And creates Facebook-style shadow profiles: https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160882873380870 https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160882873380870 HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18734999 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18734999

    That's not even close to a facebook shadow profile. It was a way to donate to a public creator page. It didn't track anything. They have also fixed the issues. The page makes it clear when someone has not opted in, and in that case it won't use profile images or names and the tip won't go through. https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/try-to-tip-reddragdiva.png https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/wp-content/uploads/2019... https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1085242421817102336 https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1085242421817102336

      Seems I stand corrected. That's very good news (news to me, at least); thank you! I hope they never backslide.
