Brave Internet Browser

The new Brave browser blocks all the greed and ugliness on the Web that slows you down and invades your privacy. Then we put clean ads back, to fund website owners and Brave users alike. Users can spend their funds to go ad-free on their favorite sites.

Doublespeak much?
They get rid of the "greed", but, then, they insert their "clean ads" back in, but then it isn't ad-free anymore.

It's not unreasonable. They remove the tracking, and replace it with clean ads that only advertise. That's my biggest issue with ads. Second is over the top, tv style ads. It'll take buy in from advertisers.

I'll consider using it once there's a binary release to try, and I can really see how it works. Looks like it's firefox chromium based.

Why should we believe them though? It sounds more like they're just replacing ads that make other people money with their own ads that make *them* money (and still track you, to give you some sort of Brave "credit"?).

This just looks like a scam honestly.

Since they take 15% off the top of the ads they replace, then the site operators are out 15% are they not?

I don't think this will fly, they need a different revenue model, since this looks questionable on legality terms.
