Privacy browser Brave pays 'crypto tokens' for watching its ads
Ad-blocking browser Brave is getting ready to test its Basic Attention Token (BAT) platform, which has been designed to reward users for looking at adverts. The company, founded by Mozilla's controversial former CEO Brendan Eich, launched the first phase of its model last year, allowing users to anonymously distribute contributions to their favorite creators. Now, it's testing a version of the browser that shows around 250 prepackaged adverts to users that sign up for early access -- a move that's angered newspaper giants that claim the feature is a violation of copyright.
