Good to see Eich back on his feet after that BS with the "social justice warriors". I hope he makes a billion off his new browser
Former Mozilla CEO Chased Off by SJWs Announces New Internet Browser āBraveā
Ousted Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich has a new Internet browser, and itās nothing less than youād expect from the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of the company behind FireFox.
Brave is a new browser that aims to āfix the Web.ā How? By blocking everything except the content you explicitly want. That means no ads, no cookies, nothing that you havenāt personally requested from the Internet. The exceptions are extremely specific, and the approach is as aggressive as the ads themselves.
In a letter to potential users on the Brave Software website, Eich says:

That means no ads, no cookies, nothing that you havenāt personally requested from the Internet. The exceptions are extremely specific, and the approach is as aggressive as the ads themselves.
In a letter to potential users on the Brave Software website, Eich says:
Everyoneās talking about ad blocking. Blockers can make the user experience of the Web much better. But as Marco Arment noted, they donāt feel good to many folks. They feel like free-riding, or even starting a war. You may never click on an ad, but even forming an impression from a viewable ad has some small value. With enough people blocking ads, the Webās main funding model is in jeopardy.
At Brave, weāre building a solution designed to avert war and give users the fair deal they deserve for coming to the Web to browse and contribute. We are building a new browser and a connected private cloud service with anonymous ads. Today weāre releasing the 0.7 developer version for early adopters and testers, along with open source and our road map.
Brave browsers block everything: initial signaling/analytics scripts that start the programmatic advertising ādirty pipeā, impression-tracking pixels, and ad-click confirmation signals. By default Brave will insert ads only in a few standard-sized spaces. We find those spaces via a cloud robot (so users donāt have to suffer, even a few canaries per screen size-profile, with ad delays and battery draining). We will target ads based on browser-side intent signals phrased in a standard vocabulary, and without a persistent user id or highly re-identifiable cookie.
