Firefox and others are good at blocking ads. But what's their replacement? What's the plan here, to starve everyone of the only viable source of income? (If you believe this is not true, try finding a way to accept micropayments to a website). The endgame here will be that sites start blocking firefox. At least Brave is trying something new.

- sunshiney 7y agoThe majority of site ads are affiliate ads. They are being blocked. The lower income folks have been hurt tremendously already. Analytics is suffering from blocks. Math runs business decisions re spending. No math equals bad decisions. Banner ads? Ineffective but why buy when good numbers are not available. The future online belongs to big tech and gorilla business as these good intentioned decisions kill the middle and lower class online. Me? Been running biz online for nearly 3 decades. The blood online is deep and getting bigger.
