Brave: Brendan Eich's clean-ads browser startup

In the end, I get to decide what the browser on my machine renders and displays to me. It's a piece of software under my control, and I am configuring it to avoid annoyances and manipulations.

If advertisers don't like that then I'm not sure what I can say to assuage their concerns.

Tough shit?

In the next 3 years websites will increasingly block users with adblock. So the future is less tough shit and more total war.

FuckFuckAdblock basically highlights that there are ways to avoid adblock detectors.
