For news? I want an OS and browser integrate single payment system. I don't want to have to give my credit card details to everyone. I want a digital wallet that's an open standard and that's integrated with every form of online payment.

Where I can cut off subscriptions easily and with no hassle, maybe one time payments, etc.

For news, shopping, any kind of subscription (Netflix, AWS, etc.).

I want banking-as-a-service. I already trust my bank with my money, I want them to be the middle man between me and the online payment jungle.

Isn’t this what Privacy does?

+1, I would highly recommend people check out Privacy.com. I have been using it for years.

Create virtual card numbers, set spending limits, frequency, and burn or pause a "card" at any time.

How close does Paypal come to this? What is it lacking in your eyes (other than the "open standard" aspect)?

non-anonymous: PayPal always sees who pays whom what amount, maybe even for what content. Reliance on a single vendor: If PayPal is down, or doesn't like some publication ("violates our standards/US laws/etc."), you're out of luck.

What about Brave Rewards? https://brave.com/brave-rewards/

You can set a budget to spend among the websites you visit, if they have "signed up" to the service.

This is indeed the solution, and I don't get the HN reaction when it's mentioned.

That's exactly what https://taler.net is aiming for.
