Brave Browser - another non-ad web alternative?

Wed, 24 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +1200

Brave is a web browser that has been about for while, but i only happened across it when it made its way onto the android platform.

It presents another concept which supports web content creators without subjecting viewers to horrendous ads, both in their content and in their speed detriment.

Check their site out here - https://brave.com

Crypto mining failed me (see coin hive here), ads are annoying and more and more likely to be blocked via various plugins and tools. The Brave browser blocks all ads by default and builds up a profile on where you are spending your time on the web. Contributions are then made to the various sites if they are registered to the “BAT” system, which is a way of rewarding the content providers.

time to disable coinhive - hysteria ensues

See my previous post here - /2017/10/13/coinhive-alternative

So the trial of coinhive and associated monero browser mining has come to an end. It seems most corporate firewalls and security appliances detect and block access to my domain just being associated with the coinhive java-script.

Even though i was being a polite net citizen and disclosing it on the site - firewalls with strict polices dont give it a chance. Several public DNS servers have also block listed the site - hopefully this will be undone soon.

coinhive - alternative to ad revenue?

Fri, 13 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +1300

I’m attempting to use coinhive as an alternative to ad revenue on my blog.

I have it set throttle to 50% at moment, hopefully it doesn’t disrupt a casual browser on this site.
