@mikewest Other browser makers would want them to win. If they were to lose then browser-making would become court/gov't-regulated hell.

@BRIAN_____: Is Brave a browser-maker or an ad-tech company? They seem to be positioning themselves as the latter. -
@mikewest Isn't it both? Just like every browser-maker? -
@BRIAN_____: There's "ad-tech" as in "We render HTML! And ads are HTML!" and "ad-tech" as in "Our raison d'etre is adding and removing ads." -
@mikewest I'd guess that the ad and tracking stuff are only a small fraction of what@BrendanEich wants to do. I guarantee it's not about $. -
@BRIAN_____: Perhaps not for@BrendanEich, but $ for publishers/users seems like a big part of the story. Those bits aren't spelled out. -
@mikewest@BrendanEich If one wants to build a browser to compete w/ Chrome, one needs Chrome-like funding w/o paralyzing strings attached. -
@BRIAN_____: Bluntly, the "string-free" funding source Brave has found seems to be other people's money. :)@BrendanEich -
@mikewest@BrendanEich A new browser would get nowhere if it worked like other browsers. Ad industry would be lucky to be saved by Brave. - 1 more reply
