I understand that but Brave has no ads. None , zeroThey make money by selling ad space which gets its value from being in front of your eyes. You’re the product. It’s not wrong. They have to make money somehow.
Doesn’t Brave have their own ad placement? You can turn it off I think. And they gave something called Brave attention tokens? So they’re making money off your usage. Not that there’s anything wrong with that per se. Chrome tracks pretty much everything you do.I understand that but Brave has no ads. None , zero
A little newer than Compuserve, but I think my first internet service came from one of those AOL disks you could get (for free?) to install on your computer. Of course it was dial up with that annoying fax machine noise when it was connecting.Is thisun stuff anything like Compuserve? (If you know what that is, you’re officially older than dirt)
Oh, no. Older than dirt is pre-internet.Is thisun stuff anything like Compuserve? (If you know what that is, you’re officially older than dirt)
Yep, like the others have said, if you block all cookies it's also blocking session cookies, which is how many sites identify you and establish a session that you're logged into. If it can't do that, then it's like you've never established a session and it doesn't know you've logged in.I decided to go back to Firefox, at least until I can figure some more things out with Brave. It wasn't playing nice with my credit union site. I'm sure it's a setting I need to turn on or off, but it kept thinking I was signing in for the first time from this computer and making me jump through too many hoops.
I’m that too. My first video game was an RCA selectavision dad bought from work…when I was about 12 or so. Before that, I had sticks.Oh, no. Older than dirt is pre-internet.

Sure. The BAT is an interesting idea. But they still make their money by valuing their ad space based on your views. If no one opts in, their ad space is worth ****, and they don't get paid. If they don't get paid, they'll stop supporting the browser.Only If you opt in.
But I can choose not to view ads. How do they value me? Or are you saying y'allSure. The BAT is an interesting idea. But they still make their money by valuing their ad space based on your views.

Yeah, it's cookies I'm sure, but Brave has like 12 different ways to handle cookies (I may be exaggerating a little, but it's not just one simple switch to throw). I don't want to have to go through and white list every freaking website, so I need to find the setting to allow them on all websites.Yep, like the others have said, if you block all cookies it's also blocking session cookies, which is how many sites identify you and establish a session that you're logged into.

I only wish there was a direct package to install Brave on Linux.
