Bitcoin Browser Brave Draws Fire from Major News Publishers

[OmegaStarScream]

The maker of ad-blocking browser Brave, which plans to give users the option to view ads in exchange for micropayments in bitcoin, has responded to a cease-and-desist letter it received today from members of a major newspaper trade group.

I just installed it and tested it but I see it slower then other browser instead of "faster" as they claim , GUI isn't very nice too .

If the news sites don't co-operate, does that mean those news sites will simply get blocked from this browser entirely?

Gave it a try. Didn't like it. One thing I do know is that something needs to be done re online advertising. It's getting shittier all the time and people are keener to block it than ever. There's no way I'd ever put up with it again. If I have to abandon sites that badger me about it then so be it.
