Brave: Changing the Online Advertisement Industry

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

The world of online advertisement is a messy one. Between fraudulent and intrusive ads, ad blockers, adblocker-blockers, etc., it’s pretty hard to understand what exactly is going on, or what needs fixing. One thing has always been clear though, that the end user is getting the worst part of it all.

Often times, users are either forced to deal with ads they don’t want to see which are intrusive, annoying and sometimes fraudulent. Even if they install an adblocker, many websites will not allow them to view the content if the user has an ad blocker which means that these apps end up being somewhat useless.

The worst part is that the end user is never rewarded for his time, attention and information when viewing ads and sharing browsing information with advertisers. These companies and the complicated web of unneeded middlemen keep all the profits and share none of them with you. In fact, users are paying to be bothered by ads that increase their bandwidth usage and slow down their internet.

I'm using Brave right now. Pretty impressed so far. It's only been a day and no bug issues at least yet. Seems pretty legit! Also browsing is a lot easier. Apparently there are settings, if you really really love ads, lol you can turn them on/off pretty slick! I give it a thumbs up and have made it my primary browser to Firefox, which i am also quite fond of. Good post!

Where can I get Brave for firefox?

Do you mean Brave for Linux? Because no matter what OS u use, there is a version of Brave for it!! Otherwise i don't understand your question!! ;)

more people should jump on this ! nice article :)

Agreed! Let's show the advertising industry that we will not just sit idly by while they invade our web spaces.

I've been following brave for a while now and it is something that interests me greatly.
