Personally I'm a little skeptical the micro payments concept will actually work. I can't really see a lot of people 'supporting' their favorite sites. That brave disables ads doesn't mean the sites themselves have stopped displaying ads, paying them would just add to the money they're making through ads anyway.

I'm satisfied with Google Chrome with an Adblock Plus. I haven't had any problems with it. For me it is the best browser ever created so far. Get my point? A business can be successful if no one's ever done it before.
It appears as though there may be an option for the user to get paid by NOT blocking the ads. I have downloaded it and I am installing it in a minute or two so that people can get the whole story.

actually Firefox is the best browser in my opinion, it is a lot smoother and there is more respect for your privacy when you are using Firefox instead of chrome. but is all a matter of preference and has nothing to do with this topic. the Brave browser can be a good and a bad project at the same time because usually people are not so willing to see lots of ads even if there is a tiny payment in it.

I was reading this at Coindesk a few minutes ago and I thought I should share it with you guys. I thought I got their concept right when they first announced the launch of Brave but It seems like I didn't (after reading the comments in Coindesk) , so I'm still not sure If users who use the browser will get paid or the publishers of ads are the one who gets paid.. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.coindesk.com%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2FBravePayments.png&t=665&c=z2ujV6qIW9YoEA) Never heard of this before.I don`y think that the concept will work. Adblocks work perfect and there`s no need of using a new browser to get rid of annoying ads. Anyway it`s good to know that some companies are trying to implement bitcoin in their projects.

Why should I pay a website a few satoshis to get rid of the ads when I can use an adblocker for free? This doesn't make much sense to me. It should be the other way around. The sites should pay us to bear the ads. I mean they are the ones who want something from us. It's our time! You want me to watch your ads because you think you've got something interesting for me than pay me for that time. That's how I see it.
This is a good point. The better idea would be to create a browser that blocks all ads and pays the users to have them disabled. A part from the site's share of profits from displaying ads should be able to pay for this even if it is only a few satoshis a day. This will make one good outlet for bitcoin's distribution to the masses.

They block the ads in the website and then tip the sites according to how much you browse them. They tip the actual website, by sending them an email and asking for them to verify the ownership over the domain with a TXT record. but I don't think it's going to get so popular, because people can just use regular adblocks and never tip the website.
Curious to how they get funded? I mean I understand the blocking part but how do they get funds to pay the websites "because I doubt they will be putting ads of there own lol" or do they get paid by the users? If so why don't the user just use some free adblocking service? I doubt it will gain popularity if it requires the user to pay money to browse...

Exactly, this concept is so senseless, you will pay the websites for not showing you the ads though they still show those ads on their site for other users, so basically every user must give them money for not showing the ads to them which is making them earn a double income while we can bypass those ads easily with the help of any adblocker extension in the browser.

And what about the services that those websites offer free of cost?How will they bear all the expenses that is require to run a site?Why should they share their revenue? I think the best solution is giving visitors an option to become premium member for ads free version

The ones who are going to earn here are the publishers or the bloggers. I tried Brave without adding funds. Yes, you're right, publishers will generate revenue here. It's just like we will pay them 5 USD minimum per month to contribute to the sites that we use most while avoiding bad ads and keep browsing history private. We can still use the browser's feature of blocking bad ads, even we won't pay. It's not mandatory, still depend upon us if we like to add funds. However, I don't really think that many people will use this browser and pay since as other's have mentioned they are already using ad blocker with their browsers.

And not mentioning that Chrome and Firefox have been killing all other browsers for years! What Brave must consider first is how is it going to be different from the others so that the consumers will have reason to use it over their favorite browsers.

So they are expecting the user to pay to have the ads blocked and the website compensated? That's a positive way to look into things but I doubt it would gain any popularity, People don't even like paying for items rather than something they could easily do for free.

Brawe browser is not among most popular browsers. It has small user group - so with this development BTC users base will not expand. Plus this browser also do not have strong technical advantages over most popular Mozilla FireFox. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Would be quite interesting to see if this works out, it would be good for the user for not having ads and great for the website for getting a compensation for ad blocking, I would like to see the reaction of users and if they will use it or rather use the free adblock.

This is just another one of those sites that does not need to happen. In my opinion, right now there are to many sites focused on gambling, mining, and trading alt coins and bitcoin. I think this brings the value down for there is just not enough of an eco system in the coin to keep it moving forward. All we keep doing is passing the money around from one site to another, just generally speaking. Like their concept, just no need for it.
