[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 977588"] [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] TLDR assumes that the user has control over the gathered data ("disable Topics, cookies and trackers") and Brave/Vivaldi won't track you at all when you opt-out (raises the question how are Brave/Vivaldi going to earn money?"). I have doubts on both because we are addicted to free internet/webservices (and someone/something has to pay for it) I think this sentence of the good read posted by [USER=78686]@SeriousHoax[/USER] says it all "I believe the actual uphill battle is shaping public perception, not the technology.". As recent research shows the adblock hype is over its top (since 2016 percentage users with adblocker installed dropped from 60 to 40 percent). The Click Through Rate of Brave is four times higher than market average. This shows that with a more sympathetic public image and a moderate/hold back frequency of showing ads, a middle road is possible in which web-based services earn money through advertising and the users get those services for free without being hassled to much.
