History
Brave is being developed by Brave Software, founded on May 28, 2015 by Brendan Aich and Brian Bondi. [7] The Brave browser was first announced by Aikh on January 20, 2016 with the proclaimed goal of introducing an alternative to widespread systems where users are provided with free content in exchange for displaying advertisements from the income of which there are many content creators and publishers on the World Wide Web . [8]
Aich sees the Web as facing a “primary threat” of growing conflict between advertisers seeking to collect and store detailed and often very personal information about users and resisting web users in order to increase advertising efficiency. [9]
Publisher Rewards
Trying to compensate for the effect of blocking and replacing ads, Brave is testing the Brave Payments publisher reward system. This system allows users to set the amount they are willing to donate to support the sites they visit. Brave will use a special algorithm to calculate the percentage of this amount that falls on each specific site, which the publisher will receive in the form of a cryptocurrency transfer, if he created such an opportunity. [10]
Criticism
- Version 0.7 Brave received from Network World the name "mighty primitive." [eleven]
- Urbanophile stated that Brave is “very fast” and “bizarre” (English: “quirks”). [12]
- Ars Technica was skeptical about the moral and legal aspects of Brave’s behavior in advertising, calling it “tearing double” and adding: “Brave looks like robbery.” [13]
