Brave goes out of its way to make money by ripping off publishers.
As a publisher myself, I respect ad blockers. If they block ads, they aren't gonna click the ads in the first place, so it's their choice. I even respect DNT header and not put my pixel tracking for the users.
Brave, on the other hand, is doing these sneaky stuff to earn from my efforts. A site that has Alexa rank hovering 10,000 accumulated about $10 worth of BAT currency (their own shitcoin) in exchange of showing ads.
- anonymousDan 6y agoMaybe this is just a function of how few users Brave has :)
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI always whitelist places that I actually use. Turn off pihole and adblockers for those sites in FF

Then the user is tipping your blog with their earnings. It may be somewhat of a moot argument, but there is a distinction. The user is accumulating BAT from having the browser open, not necessarily when they are on your site.
