I have no idea what they have been up to lately but when originally rolled out Brave's business model seemed very much like a protection racket. I haven't touched it since and never will.
- BrendanEich 4y agoWe don't take fees to unblock ads, so you must mean the "acceptable ads" extensions and not Brave.
- tssva 4y agoNo, I meant you. As I understood it your software blocked ads at websites, presented your own ads and then you told website owners they could recoup some of their lost revenue by participating in your whole BAT scheme. That sounds pretty close to a protection racket.
- mpmd 4y agowrong. the user decides whether they want to block ads or not; no browser forces you to block anything. their ads are also opt-in, which means the user is the one ultimately choosing whether they want to block ads and/or opt-in to brave ads. also, turn off that adblocker youre using hypocrite.
