Didn’t know where to post this, so hopefully this is the right spot. Please boycott Brave. I’ve recently learned that not only is their CEO bad, but their fanbase is toxic, too. I will no longer be using Brave for that reason.

    I’m sure you could make a firefox plugin that does the same thing.

    Just log how much time you spend on each website, then when you pass a threshold, say 2hr, ask you to send money, say 2euro. Then when there is enough money in the website’s pot, say 200euro, they email the website owner and ask them to make a libera account to collect the money.

    I think that’s all brave does anyway.

      Seems like a really easy way to scam well intentioned website goers though. Are we sure Brave is actually sending the money over?

        Yes. It would need to be trustworthy, have a good reputation (so not brave).

        If it uses bitcoin, then the money can be traced directly. If set up right, there would be no way to scam people without them noticing immediately.

        This could be a very good business idea. To make it profitable, just do yourself what you are doing for websites: “you’ve been using the fuckyoupayme app for 12 months and supported websites with 200euro so far. Please donate us devs 24euro.”
