I was excited for Brave when they talked about service privacy-friendly ads and sharing revenue with sites. That obviously didn’t happen, but I think it is a good idea in general.
I don’t mind privacy-respecting ads like sponsorships and whatnot in videos, but I absolutely cannot stand the data-harvesting ads used almost everywhere, as well as ads in services I’ve paid for.
There’s a Dutch tech website called tweakers.net, a while ago they removed all tracking cookies and all ads are now just banners based on the current web page. I have adblocker disabled for that website and I’m happy with that
If the ads are unobtrusive and interesting, and not clearly based on harvested personal data, I wouldn’t mind.
Unfoorrrtunately…
Exactly.
