[NEWS] Brave new browser using BTC micropayments [SEP 16]
Brave web browser is in beta, ok? It means that strange things might happen while using it… It crashes all the time and stuff… I hope it will get better over time and get some browser market share. However, now I can give Brave only 2 out of 5 stars.
What is special about Brave? Well… They will block ads for you (make sites faster) and you will pay to your favorite websites some money (default is 5$/mo) – Yes, in bitcoins. And yes, You can be an idiot and choose not to pay a dime while all ads are blocked. But! keep reading 🙂
Also, with Brave, users can earn money if they choose to have ads while browsing the web. Wait a sec, which ads? Brave ads. Brave is building it`s own ad network by replacing ads that use third-party tracking. Legal issues, aside, here, we have at least one question… How much money there will be per average user? Not much, but in 2 years, it can be something, I guess… Brave claims that will share up to 15% with the user. How much will be 15%? Well, if Brave respects privacy of a user, they cannot have highly targeted ads, so… Advertisers will pay less…
Brave aims to solve privacy issues and invasive ads issue from a user point of view, and also to help publishers make more money. This will be a new ad network that puts both revenue share and control in users hands. But, again, if they respect privacy, they cannot have highly targeted ads…
This thing has a huge potential. It can change a lot of things, Brave can kill some big guys in advertising space, but also it can disappear overnight due to legal issues or lack of adoption.
We will see…
Good luck Brave!
