Even before this I was suspicious about Mozilla and their google analytics, dozens of telemetry settings (some of them hidden in about:config) and ''safebrowsing'' enabled by default.
Now that Mozilla(Firefox, Seamonkey,etc) is confirmed for botnet,which alternative do we have left?

Any and all telemetry data is accessible by you. Mozilla is pretty transparent about it

about:telemetry

toolkit.telemetry.server

I'm not even using Brave right now. It's very early in development.

But my extensions are just uBlock + https everywhere + violent monkey + mouse gestures. What minimum functionality of extensions do you even need?
>>
>>61877715
I remember checking out that chick. She's weird, and pretty obviously a leftist, looking at her twitter.

Also, Brave's adblock is shit, there's no fine-tuned script controls, and you can't add extensions like decentraleyes to the browser. Brave is a fine mobile browser (and my main mobile browser), but it's is a shit-tier desktop browser at the moment, and will be until they start bringing real extensions to the platform, rather than password managers that nobody in their right mind should use.
>>
>>61877575
I'd have no objection if they made a browser with integrated ad blocking that blocked all ads for all users all the time. But the very presence of Brave's own advertising and revenue-sharing model gives them a direct incentive to go back on all their stated commitments to privacy and the like. That's the model a lot of surveillance outfits have followed - start with strong or at least decent privacy protections, and then, once you have a user base, start walking them back, knowing that most users will at most make a brief fuss but not leave. You share/sell more data, run more ads, and bam, you're the next Facebook.

Also lets be explicit here, there's no such thing as "acceptable advertising". The goal here is to make advertising a nonviable business model on the web. We want the sites that are there to give people information to stick around (and conveniently dumping all the JS and ads and tracking garbage in the bin will keep their hosting costs to the level that an individual or small organization can afford) On the other hand sites that only have """content""" at all because you need a lure to get some goyim's eyeballs in front of ads for the advertisers to pay you, we want to ensure that those sites are money-losers, by making advertisers unwilling to pay sites to run ads, since so few of them will ever be seen or lead to sales.

Agreed. I DO have Brave installed, and use it whenever my autistic FF settings are tripping up a webpage that I have to use (like a job application site), and I see it's potential. Truth be told, if they replaced their Adblock with Ublock Origin, made the Script control on par with NoScript (which is still less than ideal in comparison to Umatrix), and made Disconnect and Decentraleyes an option, I would use it over FF, even though it would still be missing things I want (like an Agent Spoofer, flash/HTML5 control, DNSSEC/TLSA Validator, and the like).

I'm not political, but let's be real here, both sides are pushing a shit ton of propaganda. I still have yet to see any real proof of Russia tampering with the voting machines, but a huge chunk of the population believes it actually happened.

And I get the vibe that targeting "fake news" will be selective targeting. CNN won't get called out for constantly focusing on Trump and Russia, despite the link being pretty tenuous at best (from what I can tell - again, not overly political), but Brietbart will likely get should down for mistranslating a German "could," into "should."

And where does that money come from, if it's not coming straight from the users pocket? Advertisers. People who are paying money to someone to try and distract me, place my eyeballs on some lies, and con me into buying something I otherwise wouldn't have. (of course, if the money is coming from the users pocket, there's no need for Brave or for the advertisers, they can just give the site money)

So no, Brave is perpetuating the ad business, with is associated problems, like clickbait and content mills. The world I'd like to see is one where the vast majority of advertising is blocked, and the vast majority of the small sliver that isn't is just fraudulent clicks. The goal of this being to persuade companies that at present spend a lot of money on ad campaigns to say "You know, this is just pissing money straight down the toilet", and having the ad market dry up, and companies (including but not limited to Brave) founded on taking a cut of that spending going out of business.

I'm sure a scummy underbelly of spam and ad fraud and the like will remain. Which is okay, if all the advertising people see online is obviously disreputable, that'll help cement in their minds something they should know intuitively but that many presently don't seem to: that advertising in general is disreputable.

Case in point. Brave seeks to completely wipe out advertising. You can disable ads and will be able to fund projects directly when Mercury comes out.

The money has to come from somewhere. Very few entities can exist with zero source of funding. And if you think they're doing things for free, you're an idiot. Nothing is free.

>pay money to sites
There's also no reason for a browser to be doing this, given that people have been putting PayPal donate links on their sites for a long time, and if you want to do it with cryptocurrency like Brave does then instead of building a whole browser infrastructure for paying sites, the sites could just post a [Bit,Lite,Doge,Whatever]coin address on their site that people could, if they choose, send coins to.

If Mozilla introduced browser infrastructure for payments you'd be screaming about how awful it was, like the ruckus over Pocket.

>The money has to come from somewhere. Very few entities can exist with zero source of funding. And if you think they're doing things for free, you're an idiot. Nothing is free.
The sites that are worth having are. I have no objection if you're an online storefront that's actually selling products and making money that way. And the informative websites are text, and cheap to host. Renting a VPS and putting up a blog is something you can do for trivial entertainment money.

The sites that are in trouble are the ones that don't care about saying something or about providing an actual product, they just care about whatever will get eyeballs in front of a page, what it is is irrelevant. The Buzzfeeds and Gawkers of the world. Those sites are the vast majority of the internet these days and you bet your ass it'd be a good thing if they had zero source of funding.

Who wants to read a blog with no funding? It's basically just opinion pieces at that point. I want objective news, and that requires more resources than some random tech blogger can afford to spend with "entertainment money."

Brave seeks to eliminate click baiting ads that consumers don't consent to viewing in the first place. If you can give me an alternative besides PayPal donations, I'd love to hear it.

If PayPal donations truly worked, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. The current system is broken and needs radical changes.

So your objection is that sites aren't making enough money? Why is their business model our problem? For that matter, who says you have a right to a certain amount of income from the kind of stuff you want to put on the web? (witness the squealing of youtubers who want five figures to umm and ahh into a webcam)

>You think a normalfag knows how to do that?
"send a token to this address" isn't a hard concept to grasp. Normalfags can copy-paste address strings. If you want to design a normie-friendly crypto wallet, well and good, a lot of other people have had ideas like that too. No real reason to put it in a Chrome-knockoff web browser though.

>Who wants to read a blog with no funding?
I do. The people that are interesting to read are the people who write about shit because they think its interesting, as opposed to because someone's paying them to write it. A blog by some sysadmin somewhere is always going to be more interesting and educational than some consumerist drivel on Wired.

>I want objective news, and that requires more resources
And there will continue to be news outlets for you. Government-sponsored outfits like the BBC aren't going away, and news-that-you-pay-for isn't either, it just has a much higher bar now. Forbes and the Wall Street Journal do pretty well with paywalled news. The news organizations that are dying are the lowest-common-denominator ones, and the local podunk papers that are just a few pages about what the local high school did and a few obituaries.

>Brave seeks to eliminate click baiting ads that consumers don't consent to viewing in the first place. If you can give me an alternative besides PayPal donations, I'd love to hear it.
I gave it to you already: the alternative is "the site running the clickbait goes out of business and dies". Good riddance to bad rubbish. We don't need quantity of content, we need quality of content.

I'm not sure how this is a valid point. I pay for what I use, and I pay what I deem is a fair one-time price. The dude that does NoScript, for example, got 50 dollars from me, as that's what I valued the add-on at. I also pay for shit like my email, even though there is a free option, both because I appreciate the product and because I want the additional features that are locked behind a paywall. Hell, I even buy a 4chan Pass during Black Friday, when they have their sale.

I don't mind funding the shit that I use. The fact that other people don't isn't really my problem.

My objection is that the traditional donation model does not work. If the business model isn't our problem right now, they'll make it our problem. Ad-blockers simply buy time until they find out how to advertise through other means.

>people write things for free
This is a myth. No one writes anything if they don't have something to gain. It may just be intellectual stimulation from others, but the large majority of people do not want that.

No, the ones that are dying are ones that don't know how to fuck you in the ass. There's a difference. Also what's wrong with local papers? I'm sorry that some people want to read about relevant events in their lives rather than the stock market or the Kardashians.

>My objection is that the traditional donation model does not work. If the business model isn't our problem right now, they'll make it our problem. Ad-blockers simply buy time until they find out how to advertise through other means.
At which point, the people who were unwilling to fund alternatives will likely wind up dealing with the ads. Meanwhile, people who fund things will either not have to deal with ads (if they fund the site directly), or will be able to use archive sites to strip the ads. The number of people who are both tech literate and unwilling to give in exchange for something is actually pretty low in comparison to the number of people who just try to take, but buckle under the first difficulty they encounter.

Script blocking is the saddest part of Brave.
You have to choose between not even allowing 1st-party, which breaks most sites, or allow everything, including ads and tracking.
>>
>>61878753
Agreed. I can forgive a lot of Brave's flaws, but the browser is unusable until this is fixed.
>>
>>61878743
me neither

>>61878681
Brave presents a simple solution for normies to block ads with little effort and fund the websites they enjoy. I think focusing only on the technologically literate is viable in the short term but harmful in the long run. The net gain in people's sovereignty over where their money goes will greatly benefit people on all sides (and both the technologically literate and illiterate alike) regardless of political affiliation. In fact, people will be able to fund only political causes or news sources that support their ways of life rather than giving value (through ads) to corporations and advertisers that don't give a shit about them at all.

Donations will never be a viable business model. The model actually harms wealth equality because it allows only people with dispensable income to influence projects they like. I want a more equitable system that is self-sustaining and provides the largest benefit for all consumers. Just because you can properly configure your browser through autistic wizardry doesn't mean you're helping anyone but yourself.

I had no idea we were talking about Brave (I jumped into the middle of the conversation). I actually see a lot of potential in the browser itself, but the desktop version is worthless to me at the moment. If they would bring in a small handful of extensions, that would radically change, but they keep focusing on password managers for some reason.
>>
>>61878803
I don't give a fuck about password managers either. I agree that it needs further development on a lot of fronts.

It just pains me to see people supporting companies like Google (and now Mozilla with their fake news censorship crap) who will shaft them without solving the issues that inherently put consumers at a disadvantage.

>If the business model isn't our problem right now, they'll make it our problem.
So we have to accept being exploited because if we don't they'll exploit us some other way? How subservient.

>This is a myth. No one writes anything if they don't have something to gain.
Talking about stuff you do and find interesting is a pretty innate human drive. Shit, what are you getting from this conversation, other than talking to someone about something?

>You're obviously a britbong with zero awareness of media manipulation on the part of governments.
If you're so distrustful of governments why are you so eager to trust commercial operations that, by your own admission, are "out to fuck you in the ass" and who will "make it our problem"? Because remember, someone being paid to write content doesn't have an incentive to tell you the truth, he has an incentive to say what will make him more money.

>>61878774
It's like politics, the gain would come from draining the money out of the system altogether, not just from a slightly tweaked method of spreading it around with a different middleman (Brave) taking a cut.
>>
>>61878851
I'd start using them today, and uninstall FF if their adblocker was powered by Ublock Origin, and they had the extensions in pic related available for use.

This is all they need, and I'm sure it will happen in time, but it sure as shit isn't ready to meet my needs at the moment. Doesn't stop me from keeping an eye on them, and using them as a "vanilla" browser on the rare occasion that I need one.

Neat. If they offered Umatrix, that would be a viable argument.

I may be way out of my league for tech stuff in this thread ( I barely understand what telemetry is), but you have the most distorted view of economics I have ever seen.

>I think focusing only on the technologically literate is viable in the short term but harmful in the long run.
Google : early adoption curve/diffusion of innovation/network externalities

>The net gain in people's sovereignty over where their money goes will greatly benefit people on all sides

This differs from donation how? All you have done is added a middle man who for a optional(read: default on + 90% of users wont change) fee will make it more "convenient".

Ok, but how does brave know who to give my money to or what my settings even are? How do i verify that brave is sending MY money where it says?
How do I as a site owner know what settings my visitors are using in order to make sure brave is giving me my cut? How can brave be pro freedom and pro privacy if it literally requires tracking in its business model?

On brave:
>In fact, people will be able to fund only political causes or news sources that support their ways of life
On donations:
>The model actually harms wealth equality because it allows only people with dispensable income to influence projects they like.
You do know how adds work right? Purchase>click through>impression.

Advertisers dont care about how many fucking poor slobs click their adds. They want you to buy something. Only sites that can attract paying customers make money. So content is always aimed towards wealthier people.

Example: how many $500+ phone reviews/unboxings/sponsored content do you think were produced in the last month?

How many for shitty flip phones? guess which has bigger market share world wide.


I really hope that you learn from this. Shilling for things based on political feels alone is usually a good way too look foolish.

>B-B-But it is from an ad company
Um, Sweetie, actually the founder of Brave is the inventor of Java Script and co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox. He got the pink slip after some SJW cringe of Firecucks
>Y-Y-Yeah okay. B-B-But you know, they display ads to you as well ;_;
Um no? You can disable them fully. If you chose not to, you get paid. You even can disable all ads and chose to make micropayments to sites you like but dont want to see their ads.
>Oh, but yeah. The adblocker they use is shit nevertheless
Um, no? And even if so, it will just take a few weeks to get more extensions which will allow to activate an other adblocker.
>B-B-But *autistic screeching*

Thats what we go through every damn thread.
Brave is superior and in some cases it will just take a little time until it is for some fancy personal prefferences.

BE BRAVE /g/.

De-Google yourself today.
Step in for freedom of speech.
Step in for a free internert. Rise against mass surveillance.

>is leftist/communist as fuck.
Nah, there's plenty of Slavs in here who take a shit on the failed and destructiv4e experiment called Communism, plenty enough to sway the percentage from your delusions.

Oh, and by the way, China isn't Communist;
it conjoins ethnic homogeneity (98% Han) with
conservative nationalist values on the social aspect, uses hybrid Capitalism for economic and industrial purposes, and only uses some governing aspects of Communism to hold control over balancing the countryside population and cityside populations from mixing too much where Communism is merely a symbolic smokescreen.

It's a nation which uses systems as tools rather than religious substitutes to blindly believe in like you do.
