I used to be optimistic about Brave, but I no longer consider it to be a good project. It has had some serious issues with security and the intent behind it is starting to seem nefarious. Monetizing other people's content was always sketchy and their DRM is going far beyond EME.

At the core, it's an attempt to monetize other people's content on the web with a cryptocurrency based on the value of people's attention, i.e. the core of the advertising industry. I was interested in their work on privacy improvements but it's clear that's just window dressing.

I'm not a fan of using attestation to build DRM implementations, especially in a way that goes out of the way to shut out other platforms. They wouldn't even respond to my suggestion to use an approach that is both *stronger* and would allow them to whitelist operating systems.
