TL;DR
Full Story
So, Courageous Browser is within the information once more.
This time it’s as a result of they’re integrating Solana wallets into their browser — permitting customers to securely retailer their $BAT (Courageous’s native token) — and it’s serving as a stark reminder that:
We don’t discuss Courageous Browser sufficient.
And we must always! As a result of it’s the perfect Web3 onboarding device for non technical people — the pitch is straightforward, and extremely compelling:
Browse the web → receives a commission whenever you see an advert.
Right here’re the essential mechanics of it…
In Web2, we had two choices so far as monitoring/promoting went:
Suck it up and settle for it.
Set up an advert blocker (and take cash away from creators that depend on advert cash).
Courageous Browser reimagines these choices to appear like this:
Flip off adverts and monitoring.
Activate adverts, whereas staying nameless AND getting paid (alongside creators) to be marketed to.
Okay…however how are the adverts related should you’re nameless? And the way does the fee system work??
RE: advert relevancy…
The Courageous staff realized they’ll nonetheless ship related adverts with a a lot smaller quantity of data.
E.g. If somebody spends numerous time studying Enterprise Insider, watching movies on the way to higher their golf swing, and checks Yahoo Finance on the every day…
That is sufficient to recommend that they may be a fan of adverts promoting monetary providers and pastel polo shirts.
As for the fee system:
Advertisers purchase advert house utilizing the $BAT token → new, much less invasive adverts are positioned within the browser window the place Google and Fb’s was once → the advert {dollars} are break up between Courageous, creators/publishers, and customers.
Helluva idea!
