As users browse the web, they’ll see additional advertisements inserted into pages. The newly-enhanced extension is based on technology from Bitcoin payments startup Zebedee, and utilizes Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for micropayments. Slice’s free extension works with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and even Brave. But now you can add similar functionality to an array of browsers-including Chrome and also Brave-and earn Bitcoin in the process.Īdtech startup Slice announced today that it has integrated Bitcoin payments into its browser extension, letting users earn cryptocurrency by viewing ads while surfing the web. It uses Zebedee’s Lightning Network integration, which has previously been used across various games.īrave popularized the concept of giving users crypto rewards for using its web browser, and has seen surging user counts as a result.Adtech startup Slice has implemented Bitcoin’s Lightning Network into its web browser extension, letting users earn BTC rewards for viewing ads.That being said, I consider uBlock Origin the best extension ever, although it becomes useless with Brave. If you want to block the remaining 10%, you can install uBO or, like you said, you can switch on the “aggressive” mode. Besides, you can report the websites that don’t work properly.
On a rough estimate, I’d say Shields blocks 85%-90% of what a standard configuration of uBO would block, but it doesn’t slow down your browser because it’s integrated and optimized. However, those lists require more CPU and slow down your browser. UBlock Origin also blocks non-tracking first-party ads, while Brave doesn’t block them because it considers them legitimate (after all, Brave itself uses first-party ads).Īlso, uBlock Origin has a very long list of blacklists, and the more lists you choose, the more ads get blocked, no matter if they are third-party or first-party. After installed Privacy Badger and ublock on Brave on desktop, found that there are still some trackers that Shields misses
