It's a little to flakey right now to be used as my main browser and Chrome and Firefox Developer Edition have all the dev tools I need to do my job. My favorite thing is Brave Payments[0] as a way of paying for good content. Personally I see myself paying a percentage of $10 a week to the websites I visit instead of for each individual website. It's a pay structure like Spotify or Netflix but fairer for the content creator. Spotify's payment system is setup in a way that your money doesn't go to the artist you listen to but it a huge pot which is split out to all the artists. This gives popular artists a large share of the profits and hurts the smaller acts. Netflix is worse but that because of the film industry as a whole. It seems that content creators want to go the HBO and Disney route where you pay for every website you visit, which is a little crazy IMHO. Hopefully Brave will come out with a plugin for all the major browsers to use their payment system across all platforms and the content creators can advertise it as a way of supporting their sites. But I'm an obvious cloud-in-the-sky Hipster. [0]: <https://brave.com/publishers/> --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
