Brave has 32.1 million daily active users for an estimated revenue of 29.9 million USD per year.
How many of you would pay $1 dollar/year for the browser app if Brave dropped BAT and the entire ad-based division?
Discussion
NOT SURE ABOUT $1/YEAR BUT I'D ZAP THEM THE EQUIVALENT OR MORE IN SATS
Fuck brave and their shitcoin.
Pay in sats, you have yourself a deal.
I'm sure they would get rid of it voluntarily if they could. Surely the number of people using BAT is close to zero.
I would pay $10/year if I could have a functioning private ad free browser. I had to stop using brave because so many sites would not load.
I found repeatedly with demanding websites that performance in Brave was lacking when compared to Chrome, unfortunately.
I did not understand that BAT shit from the beginning. They might have implemented BTC wallet but went shitcoining. Great browser but this wallet is a shame.
it was not supposed to be understood.
I'm old enough to remember when nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 said he was going to fork Brave and remove and replace the Shitcoining with Lightning and Nostr.
nope
i think we need more browser choices, specifically not based on Chrome or FF.
I'd pay for a privacy browser containing no Google or FF code.
Why not having a firefox base? I stand fully behind FF, since the most well known project TOR and Mullvad are built on it.
forks are/can be ok.
mainline FF is funded by Google and has telemetry/tracking. it is a compromised project and has been since Google got involved.
It is 100% opensource and serves very good configuration options. When you load the arkenfox userscript telemetry is turned off. And it serves some anti fingerprint features. Together with uBlock it is great for me.
I'm aware of what FF is and is not. Please, dont try to "educate" me on browsers, I'm an ex IT professional. Vanilla FF is controled by Google. period.
I've used Mozilla on and off since the 1990s. It's no longer the same project. OpenSource does not mean that it is harmless.
I'm using a fork of FF (IronFox) on this Android phone at the moment. I won't touch the vanilla FF project. My choice, you do as you wish.
the latest FF scandal.
All fine. No need to be offensive.
I'm not
I'm expressing an opinion
like it or lump it
Then pleas learn to articulate precise. "Vanilla FF is controled by Google." is not an expression of a opinion. It is a statement, that can only be true or false. No room for opinion.
As fast as you state, "I believe FF to be controled by Google" it would be an expression of opinion.
Sure Google pays around 80% of the funds for Mozilla. This is creating a dependency for sure. But it does not proof, that google influences the development of Firefox.
You as a former IT professional could be as great and bring some source of proof, for such bold claims. Sence beside self-addvertisment, you do not seem trustworthy to me currently. And your opinion lacks support of proof.
Sats for search, with max cost of 1,000 sats per year?
Only pay in sats. No shitcoin, no tracking and no ads. #BTCBrave people!
Of course, but I doubt this is one the table.
It's a company. If it generates money, it will be on the table.
You know about the automatically filling an affiliate link Brave scandal, right?
I like the browser very much. It's a class above everything else. I'm just saying that the world has become a very corrupted place. Even the good guys are messing around. Instead of BAT, it would be cool to implement tiny fractions of a satoshi.
"msats"
I would.
Only if I can pay in Sats without KYC
Yeah, I would. Brave is nice. Their search is awesome. Tried out the BAT stuff, but got rug pulled after they went KYC-compliant.
We tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at 022541be34@stacker.news, over a period of 40 minutes. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://stacker.news/api/lnurlp/022541be34/pay ). Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. The error we got was "could not generate invoice to customer's attached wallet". You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.
Anyone willing to spend real money to brave. Best just buy one of their premium services as told in this community:
