FF really went to shit after firing Eich. Bloatware with a SJW twist. And now this. No thanks.

>>14632248
for some reason chrome and firefox seem to be trying to commit sedoku. i guess they need the money

>>14632248
nobody is going to pay for an ad free browser unless they dont know how to install an extension

>>14632296
nah, its literally what happens when you put diversity hires in charge of a product. this ppl are not just metaphorical failures

>>14632831
This. By contrast, based Eich was fired from Firefox for being anti-faggot. Brave is the future.

>>14632856
Wow, I didn’t know he got fired for wrongthink. Unironically makes me interested in looking into Brave for the first time

I don't get it. the browser is not the one who sets up the ads, it's the websites. what if a website is only making money from ads, and people start viewing it only from subscription firefox?

>>14632248
So, they're removing adblock extensions in the regular navigator?

>>14633022
It's a good browser even in spite of its shitcoin counterpart.

>>14632831
This. All of the diversity hiring that began a decade ago (but which visibly ramped up in the last few years) is beginning to take its toll. You have no idea how fucked up a lot of these companies are on the inside.

>>14633726
Serious question, are there any mutual funds that specialize in things like companies with “strong diversity policies”, “female leaders”, and other SJW shit? If I can look at their holdings it would be a good source of ideas for what to short

>>14633856
There is unironically one called JUST

You can't make this shit up

>>14633915
Holy fucking shit it’s real
I died

>>14632248
>We share your payment directly with the sites you read.
thank god for that, almost got upset for a moment there. regardless of what people think of them many, many, websites rely on ads to survive and if browsers came with the feature built-in all those sites would just die.

looks like firefox will only "block" ads on the partnered sites and these sites will receive a cut of the money mozilla gets

that's actually a fine idea as long as it only applies to the partnered sites (and stay that way forever). im sure these sites will earn more money from this than from ads.

Alright you dirty faggots that kept talking shit about Brave and saying you'd willingly pay to block ads vs getting paid to see them, put your faggot money where your gay ass mouth is.

>>14633915
>JUST
lol, praise be to kek

>>14632248
that said the likely only way this works is if Firefox shares that subscription fees with the websites whose ads are being blocked otherwise website will start to wholesale block firefox browsers

>>14633699

This.

My problem with Brave is that there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to create a cryptocurrency like BAT to integrate. It makes absolutely no sense.

>>14633983
(although it's not for everybody since firefox to some degree would need to spy on your browser activity and you probably need to be logged into a "mozilla account" at all times)

>>14633988
>praise kek
>14633988
>BREVK
I am legitimately impressed

Isn't charging for some premium version of firefox contrary to it's open source roots?

>>14633915
I wonder (((why))) this isn't a 24/7 meme on /biz/

>>14632405
seems like it's not the same as an adblocker, you do support the partnered sites you read. so you will get no ads on them and the sites will still get an income.
there are people that want to support that way, it's akin to twitch subscriptions, which are basically voluntary donations

>>14634064
Nice. Hope you enjoy being tracked by the sjw cabal through your now mandatory Mozilla account.

>>14634088
like i said, it's not for everybody >>14634013

>>14633915
tippity toppity kek

>>14634106
Hasn’t it literally been Mozilla’s entire argument against Chrome so far that it spies on you in shady ways?

>>14634135
i'd be surprised if chrome does not spy on you and i'd be surprised if firefox does

>>14634265
So I take it you haven’t actually been following along with the point you yourself seemed to be trying to make..?

>>14634296
?

>>14634337
Just wasn’t sure how to reply, it’s like you look at each of your own posts in isolation without trying to form them into a sequential conversation

>>14634043
Firefox is officially over. Trannyfox $4.99 per minute goy is the future.

>>14634367
yeah if i reply to different people it's different conversations.

>>14632248
stop carrying the weight of dinosaur era ICO's. you've already made them unimaginably wealthy.

Buy CHR.

>>14634367
Did you do drugs as a child or are you just retarded

>>14633988
>>14634015

holy shit
>14/88
>brevik
wow

>>14634414
Right, so I should have restated yet again what both you and the other anon said about this new firefox variant spying on people, so that you could understand what I was trying to convey in this brand new carte blanche conversation. Jesus Christ dude, never mind I said anything

>>14633726
It's kind of a scary thought that the technologies that we're increasingly dependent on are being programmed by an ever greater proportion of underqualified diversity highers

>>14634424
I just don’t have much patience for people apparently intentionally failing to understand a simple comment and acting confused about it

>>14634448
>it's not for everybody since firefox to some degree would need to spy
>to some degree
honestly i don't know what you are upset about. i guess it's the word "spy" that triggered you maybe

>>14634464
I understood the conversation better than you did and you were a part of it. You’re so smart that you’re actually fucking retarded. Autism? What is it that’s wrong with you

BAT cannot go above $1, read the whitepaper.

>>14632248
Why dafuq not just use adblock instead of paying hahbababa cucks.

>>14634715
I’m not annoyed by spying since I don’t use firefox in the first place. I’m annoyed that I wasted time talking to someone who needs me to, instead of leaving the completely obvious unsaid, autistically spell out the detailed implications of a company whose argument for their browser is essentially about ethics related to spying, releasing a new product that will now spy on people. Don’t bother to reply, I can see that we’re not going to have a productive conversation about this
>>14634748
I’m not trying to act smart, dipshit. I’m getting on an annoying namefag’s case about the conversational tactics he uses. In any case, since this has nothing to do with you, how about you just fuck off?

>>14633915
dude, thanks for this...i would actually tip you a few BAT if there an easy way.

>>14634788
Maybe nobody gives a fuck about talking to you about Firefox’s hypocrisy and you should try to find a friend in real life to circle jerk with about your intelligent insecurities instead? Like he said, it’s not for everybody and you’re a faggot.

>>14634802
That’s the literal topic of the thread, you unbelievable faggot. Just how insecure are you about your IQ that you have to repeatedly call me smart as an insult?

Firefox has had an ad free tracker free private browser for a while, Firefox Focus.
Just wait till the firefox app running on Holochain kek

Brave/BAT is unironically one of the best projects and ideas in crypto, but unfortunately that means nothing in terms of the price of BAT.

BAT will either never moon, or not moon for a long, long time (requires mass adoption to have a chance). Awesome idea/token, poor investment unfortunately.

>>14634788
>company whose argument for their browser is essentially about ethics related to spying, releasing a new product that will now spy on people
ok now i get what you mean

>Don’t bother to reply, I can see that we’re not going to have a productive conversation about this
dude, don't be upset when YOU fail to make yourself understood. i've been up like 30 hrs so maybe i missed your clues.
also i don't know what conversation you were afraid of me trying to have with you now that it warrants you telling me not to reply

>pay for browser
HAHAHAHHHHAHA

>>14635188
>i've been up like 30 hrs
Well that certainly explains it
>what conversation you were afraid of me trying to have with you
Don’t flatter yourself, brainlet

>>14634012
That's one thing that BAT brainlets don't realize.

1. Is Eich a genius and legit?
Yes.
2. Did he use his wits to cuck Google and reskin chrome with built in ad blocker?
Yes.
3. Did he use his wits to cuck investors and do an easy cash grab during the 12 month ICO craze?
Yes.

Bat has no utility, it's a funding token. Brave has no utility either, it's a chrome reskin. Eich cucked everyone, because he's a genius. He's just gonna keep selling his tokens to fund his reskin browser, and gonna keep giving away tokens to fuel adoption to his reskin browser. The Bat token will never go up in value.

>>14632248
Fake and gay.
No-script for the win.

>>14635235
mkay, you have a good day now. treat yourself to some bsv.
