I think Brave is disreputable but they’ve arguably been able to capture more excitement as an alternative browser in recent years, though I don’t know how much of that is because of Brendan Eich’s name. But at least they’re innovating on how to make money with a browser. Maybe Firefox could release an ad-supported edition?
