- smoldesu 4y agoI don't trust Brave's implementation in the first place. You have a direct conflict of interest with protecting user privacy since you also make money off of the ads you serve users (because of how you skim BAT revenue). Furthermore, your scummy behavior of holding site operators ad revenue hostage is pretty disgusting, and doesn't provide much of a moral compass for us to base your actions off of. I'd trust stock Chromium before I'd install Brave on any of my machines.
- jonathansampson 4y agoBrave's Ads are optional (off-by default in the case of Ad Notifications), and matched-on device (so no user data leaves the machine). There is no conflict of interest here; Brave doesn't harvest user data. The Brave Rewards/Ads model is centered around _attention_, not data. Regards to the "holding site operators and ad revenue hostage," I'm not sure to what you're referring. Perhaps the UI/UX of Brave Rewards ("Payments" at the time) in late 2018? If so, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31086397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31086397 what, I hope, will be a helpful answer.
