There is quite a lot of costs associated with running a browser (at scale). Brave is looking to offer something that does what you mention called Brave-origin.

Brendan talks about this a bit more here: https://x.com/BrendanEich/status/2006412918783619455

I want a smaller phone, not a thinner phone.
Apologies for the late question, I only just found this thread.

I work at Brave, VP of IT. I worked at Mozilla for 5 years. So have some experience with browsers.

I see our insanely high infrastructure bill each month, most of the cost comes down to CDN/distribution of updates, block lists, safe browsing etc. But we also have a bunch of other costs for staff to maintain said infrastructure and security.

If you get to scale, what is the plan here? Because $1M won't get you a very long runway and the moment browsers stop doing what they should be doing well, they die. Wishing you the best of luck.

Privacy-focused search engine and web browser company Brave Software is integrating search results into its Leo chatbot. Search results are based on the Brave Search API and Leo is integrated into the company’s browser. The company said that this integration will help users find more up-to-date information.

How so?

In 2001, Sony released the i-mode adapter in Japan, allowing the PlayStation to connect to a mobile phone and access network services through the i-mode protocol. Although Sony had intentions to expand the service worldwide, it ultimately remained exclusive to Japan.
Thats a bug. We think its an issue with mobile active tag. Looking into it!
Once we've nailed the smaller selection we have now. We want to implement "goals" long term. Something like "Get a better tennis backhand"
Good feedback. We just launched so will adapt as we go!
Took me a while (and to read your reply) to understand what you were saying.

Don't get hung up on the name. The intention a long time ago was to make it a wiki, but it never happened and the name stuck.

I'm not sure what you mean, bodyweight only exercise selection looks fine to me? Want to give me a concrete example, maybe we have something bugged. We have a bunch more exercise coming to add a little more depth, but our data shows that bodyweight is generally where novice/beginner lifters want to start, so we give them the option. Also things like pull-ups, chin-ups, dips are in no way "beginner" and so if a user selects "all equipment" which is what most people do, they'll get these very important exercises if they are applicable.

its okay if you don't agree, but we have an expert on staff who curated these exercises. I trust him more than some guy on the internet. So if they are wrong, its likely a bug.

ack on bodyweight depth - working on it.

Originally I built the site on mediawiki... just a choice I made back in the day that stuck. Don't get too hung up on it!
We have a few reasons. But mostly so if we get hit by reddit again, the site doesn't go down from load.
Yeah, I hate ads too :( Unfortunately we have to run ads to support our business.

We don't mind ad blockers, I suggest Brave! But if you do want to help support our team, we also offer a premium subscription that removes ads and unlocks other features like tracking.

Leo can summarize websites, videos, answer questions, translate and rewrite pages. Simply ask a question in the address bar and click “Ask Leo”.
Team are heads down working on beating this.
recovery, rehab and mobility are an area we are a little weak on right now. That is definitely something we are going to fix soon.
Hopefully one day! We have so many things we want to build with MuscleWiki first though.

Re:Blocked by Cloudflare on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @01:50PM (#37052882)
Have someone in Egypt look at our site. Its been blocked for about 3 months.

Apparently there is a pool of IP's that Cloudflare use for their CDN and some of them are blocked in Egypt. If you are unlucky enough to be one of the websites that is using that IP, it's blocked. Apparently they rotate them, but I haven't seen it yet, so chances are, when they do rotate them, more will be blocked.
