Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
- jacooper 4y agoNot even close. Brave ads are optional, and way way more subtle than normal ads, they don't even appear in the website itself, it just a small notification! And most importantly, you get paid!
- mostlysimilar 4y agoPaid? Or given a crypto asset of questionable utility?
- Nextgrid 4y agoIf you exchange the crypto asset to fiat right away you don't care about the utility of the crypto itself.
- dsr_ 4y agoHow much does it cost to make that transaction, and how difficult is it compared to buying something with a credit card at walmart.com?
- Nextgrid 4y agoI believe Brave's crypto features are opt-in; if you don't want to use them because it's too much of a hassle to actually use that crypto or convert it to fiat you don't have to, you can still enjoy its built-in adblocking.
