Do you mean this? https://webmonetization.org/ https://webmonetization.org/ It barely exists so far and is only implemented by a single browser that I'd never heard of (Puma). Hardly fair to demand if people are using it yet. > how do you propose things work? We go back to advertising without tracking.

Indeed, their page doesn't make it obvious, but on a computer you can use extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Puma is the only option on mobile though ( never heard of it either).

  Which extension ? The landing page is terrible for a prospective user.

I agree that their web presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

      Thanks a lot. Coil looked like its own browser, and I didn't want yo use another browser. I was using a similar service in the past, but unsuscribed because most created I wanted to send money weren't receiving it. Will look into this

        Yeah, it's not as obvious as it could be, i'm in the process of writing an article on the subject and how important i think it is combat ads and tracking in the long term.

  Puma is a fork of Firefox that does other cool shit: it supports Handshake for DNS, uses DDG by default, and there are some mentions of IPFS that I don't know if it's implemented or not. I have yet to play with it though, mostly because I do the vast majority of my browsing on a desktop.
