One minor note: they made a slight change in plans from that initial design. How it works now is that when Brave replaces an ad, they put the new ad in a popup

  Correct. I've been using Brave since their very first versions on the desktop, and there never was any in-page ad insertion. The one type of in-page modification they used to do is that they would add a "tip" button to the content creator of some social networks like Twitter or reddit. That had nothing to do with "replacing ads" though. > replaces an ad, they put the new ad in a popup Incorrect. There is no 1:1 replacement. You as the user can define how often you want to receive notifications, and even then the notifications only come when you are switching context between any action. It won't interrupt you while you are watching a video, working on google doc spreadsheet or reading though HN.

    You're responding to a comment that gave you a link to their inital plan, which was literally replacing the ads. click on it, your horizon might be broadened by the added knowledge.

      That was their original plan, yes. lalaland1125 is making claims about what they actually did, and those claims are not correct.

  "replaces an ad, they put the new ad" That's not how it works. If you turn on Brave ads, they show up every once in a while, completely independently of webpage ads. And they work whether your ad blocker is on or off.
