Brave – A private, secure and fast browser
Users banding together to send crypto anonymously toward their favorite sites and creators is not &quot;parasitic&quot; -- you and your browser are the host, already colonized by tracking scripts for ads if you don&#x27;t use a no-compromises blocker such as uBO.<p>Users&#x27; right to block is well supported by web standards and case law. Adding a separate, direct to creator funding option is not parasitism, it is found money for creators.<p>To see someone here call our opt-in (meaning that each user consents without duress) anonymous micro-contributions and (coming up fast) private ads model layered on top such a name tells me that person has confused host and parasite, or is working for one of the parasites.<p>It was never a given that your browser should become a blind and passive servant to surveillance super-companies either wholly or partly dependent on ads, but such companies did capture arguably 3 of the top 4 browsers.<p>Now is the time for users to push back, whether by Brave if you like it, a blocker such as uBO on a browser that doesn&#x27;t track you by default (perhaps when &quot;logged in&quot;; whatever), or another method that works for you. I hope those who have not yet will give Brave a try. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brave.com&#x2F;download-dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brave.com&#x2F;download-dev</a> for the chromium-extensions-ready new version.
