Brave was supposed to 1) Block ads 2) Only show me ads that pay money ...

Brave was supposed to
1) Block ads
2) Only show me ads that pay money

These days it
1) Often fails to block ads
2) Shows me its own ads on new tabs without giving me money.

I wasn't aware that could happen. I thought they were still just holding people's funds on UpHold (totally custodial).

I'm still using it because it still blocks most ads - but it's getting further from the original premise. <br /><br /> Posted via <a href="https://d.buzz" data-link="promote-link">D.Buzz</a>

I think I see less ads with Brave than I would otherwise and I am getting paid. I've been giving some BAT to sites I like. Do you have an ad-blocker-blocker?
