well then what thr fuck is brave?

I tried building Brave but it don't.

>>52675507
New browser by Brendan Eich, former CEO of mozilla.

>>52675397
Can you upload the installer somewhere? I would like to try this out but the website won't let me sign up for it.

Nah.

well that doesnt tell me alot does it? give me spme details mate

>Brave blocks trackers and intrusive ads

aka doesn't block all ads

Top cuck m8

>>52675597

>This is the default mode of operation. We insert ads after blocking without hurting page load speed, and those ads will support the sites you browse. We choose ads based on browser-private user data with no remote tracking -- not even by our servers.

>Using a browser that injects ads.

The concept is kind of cute, but it's too late for advertisers, they fucked up badly.

someone upload the install already

>>52675397
it would actually be a lot easier to use brave and block only their ad servers, instead of keeping an impossible blacklist. considering it if an actual working build for mac works

Fuck off shill.

>>52676813
You can't block ads without knowing what an ad is, so you'd end up having a blocklist for generic ads as before, except when a hit is made against that list, a brave ad shows up that you then have to block with a secondary list.

>>52676893
more like my existing blacklist will become exponentially more effective against one company run by a fag hater, even if it goes through ad networks.

instead of all the ad networks in the world, it's a small subset of networks limited by the means of a single legal entity.

it's also not a problem to block brave's own servers and grab updates through github or mirrors.

the major problems are that the project is ill advised, has a stupid name, and you can't just go download an exe or dmg.

>>52677057
>SJW
>literally retarded
Why did I expect anything else?

>>52677091
is this what they're marketing to? even though the irony of "fag hater" was lost, as a consumer I don't want to be associated by that pro/anti SJW trash.

these hype threads are usually started by paid marketers, so some intern is bound to see this and know that not even infinite funding can increase their ability to deliver ads to some people past a certain point

that's the business model, and it only works when people are ignorant or have no control over their operating systems (iOS and android)

>the major problems are that the project is ill advised, has a stupid name, and you can't just go download an exe or dmg.
Because it's a fucking beta.

Anyways, the concept is too weird. Retarded, but kinda smart and kinda interesting at the same time.

>>52677352
>kinda smart and kinda interesting
It sounds like something a trojan would install. I wouldn't call that smart or interesting, since they're advertising it.

>>52677544
It supposedly gives some form of revenue for the user. If true, it is indeed somewhat interesting in a "what is the best way to abuse this to get rich quick?" way. If not true, then it's really just pure adware.

>>52677352
if it's not even usable then why have i heard so much about it?

sounds like this project will most likely end in abandonware and soured silicon valley friendships

even regular endusers who are celebrating that apple discovered ad blocking last year wouldn't likely go for a third-party surveillance substitution engine

>they don't tell you which rendering engine they're using
>from browsing the repo it looks like it's chromium-based
No thanks

>>52678261
It is indeed chromium-based. Pretty sure they say so themselves though.

>>52678297
I found nothing on they page https://www.brave.com

How many chrome reskins are there right now?

>>52677544
Sorry for my English, but bear with me. As I see it, Brave is the last step in a natural progression:

1. Simple websites which aim to attract users and get revenue from advertising. Your advertising revenue depends only on how much attractive content you can produce.

2. Platforms where users create the content. Your have to think about the infrastructure and the way to advertise effectively, but the content creation is no longer the bottleneck.

3. This is just one example, but look at Apple News. They want to create a unified platform through which users would read ALL the news sites. That's a good way to cash in on the whole industry of journalism. That's why they allowed adblocking in iPhone browers – because they want news websites to come to Apple News platform.

And Brave is the ultimate step here. Where apple tries to shave off some revenue from the whole journalism industry, Brave tries to do that to THE WHOLE OF INTERNET. It's a grandiose attempt, and an unexpected one, at least to me.

Also, it's interesting because people won't use Brave if they don't think it has a really strong moral backbone. That's why Brave are talking about how their browser will respect privacy and how the ads will be chosen in-browser (never sending your browsing history or anything like that to them) and so on. Their business absolutely depends on their legitimacy.

They will fail, of course, nobody wants that piece of shit.
But nonetheless, it is a kinda smart and kinda interesting idea.

>>52678710
That's actually a very clever observation, anon. Ans yes they will fail, as they're coming way too late to the game

>>52675610
Nice fishing. Got lots of blubber fish

>>52678746
Yeah, perhaps, just perhaps Brave would have worked when adblocking was still in its infancy, but now it's definitely too late. Those who care about publisher revenues either don't use an adblocker or use adblock plus with non-intrusive ads whitelisted. Of course, non-intrusive ads program does not deal with tracking, but I don't think there are enough people who care about this kind of tracking enough, and I'm not sure that Brave could offer a solution that's not sketchy.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and they do get traction.

>>52678549
The most popular ones are vivaldi and opera.

literally cuckolded by your browser

>>52679038
Yan is fucking great but I dont like this projects concept.

The fact shes involved has me hoping there will be a lot of room for user freedom.

>HTTPS by default
>customizable ad blocker by default
>do not track

I'll probably use this.

>>52675556
chrome is the dominant browser these days though (maybe with the exception of IE, maybe not). who gives a fuck if someone ousted from a failing project like firefox goes off in his own direction?

>>52679038
don't diss yan

>>52679157
You forgot the part where they track part of your history and personally deliver it to advertisers. You also forgot the part where the "customizable adblocker" gives you the choice between seeing lots of ads or only ads and that's about it.

>>52679038
>you can even earn credits while using the browser that let you disable ads for a short time
WTF? so the ad outlets are embedded in the code of the browser itself?

>>52679198
seems to be the case based on the media on their website.

haven't looked at the code on github to confirm though

Im not saying I support the browser, but I am saying that you are wrong.

>>52679242
You can't block the ads without credits. You can't obtain credits other than seeing their replaced ads for a certain amount of time.

>>52679383
This is blatant misinformation. Consider actually reading their site.

>You want to block all ads and trackers, but you’re not sure about our plan to insert better ads with high performance and privacy. You can do this with Brave by checking Block Ads. We want you on board even if you’re just blocking everything.

Just read their page, will ya? If and only if you choose to replace ads, you get some money to your pocket, which you can spend to support chosen websites. On these websites you will no longer see any advertising.

If you choose to block all ads, they will be blocked everywhere. That's the end of that. You annoying, lying cunt.
