Mozilla co-founder unveils Brave, a browser that blocks ads by default
Brave will replace blocked ads with its own ads, taking a 15% cut of revenues. Brendan Eich, co-founder of Mozilla and creator of the JavaScript programming language, has unveiled his latest project: Brave, a Web browser that blocks ads by default then replaces those blocked ads with its own ads. Brave Software, the company behind the eponymous browser, will take a 15 percent cut of the ad revenue generated. Brave is an open-source Web browser. There's a Brave GitHub repository for Mac/Windows/Linux, iOS, and Android. It looks like the iOS version, ironically enough, is based on Firefox for iOS, and the PC version is based on Chromium (an open-source project that somewhat parallels the development of Chrome). At first glance, it looks like the Android version of Brave is based on Bubble. If you want to try out Brave, you have to download and build the browser from a GitHub repo. You can sign up to be a beta tester, which presumably grants you some pre-built binaries. Currently, there is a waiting list.
How was it, I was using it too on my laptop... Lacking some things but I didn't give it a 100% shot either. What are your like/dislikes? If you care to share
If you want the most minimal browser of all time, Epiphany is great, it's lacking real customizability though, you can't really change what shows up when you open up a new tab. (for example in firefox i have mine to set up the sites I have bookmarked) in Epiphany nope it's just stuck at most visited. but the again I haven't fiddled with it enough.
As for this browser what sucks about is no flash support. but then again that's more of an Adobe issue than a browser one.
