Seems they're still trying to figure that out.
- BrendanEich 5y agoNo, we are transparent about it. https://brave.com/brave-rewards https://brave.com/brave-rewards https://brave.com/transparency https://brave.com/transparency and premium products such as VPN, Talk, more to come. EDIT: some of you think we should do only a browser, but we also have a search engine now (https://search.brave.com/ https://search.brave.com/). We're going big across privacy and user-agent models that fit together well and provide our users with value in the form of products, also in revenue shares including >= what we make on any opt-in attention economics. Think big, avoid pigeonholing us as some of you did and still do Mozilla. My advice!
- babbledabbler 5y agoThis is really neat to see. I'm actually working on an idea that involves conferencing and have been using jitsi's open source solution for the POC. I've been impressed with the openness and flexibility of the platform. Are there any plans to enable installable third party app/extensions with talk.brave like zoom is currently rolling out their app store?
- BrendanEich 5y agoApp stores require curation for safety properties (security, brand, abuse). We're not ready to take those on. But Talk's HTML-based web app can be user-scripted. Let me know if you develop anything.
- babbledabbler 5y agoThat makes sense. App stores add a lot of cost both on the platform and developer side, and I think in this case a straight forward scripting api with some well thought security/privacy protections would probably be easier to integrate with. Will definitely shoot you a note when we've got something built. Thanks!
