Call me crazy, but in no future can I imagine anyone willingly paying their browser vendor for freely-implemented adblocking.
If the browser provides a value add through integration and support, then I could completely imagine that.
Brave isn't the future, it's yet another cash grab. The real future is fully-decentralized websites, and it doesn't require new browsers.
If we make it too hard to make a profit while protecting our privacy while it's too easy to make a profit by eliminating privacy, there's only one way that story can end.
