#12Wasn’t that something Firefox had implemented for a while before scrapping the feature for some reason?

Re: Brave Zoom Competitor
#14I think the main problem I (Along with many others I know) have with zoom is that it basically requires you to download and install something before you can join a call. Obviously you can call in but if you want good quality video you have to download their app. Being forced to download the Brave browser in order to join a call just seems like blatantly unreasonable bar of entry. If blocking website ads wasn’t enough…
Well you also get a more privacy oriented browser as a perk. :)

Ads are here to stay unless human nature about paying for shit changes. Brave's approach while still having ads may nor may not be worse than FireFox who receive the majority of their revenue by partnering with search engines, who, y'know, mine your data and dont pay for it

We don't need to guess about Brave's approach, it is worse: https://practicaltypography.com/the-cowardice-of-brave.html

Seeing Brave’s ads and getting paid in cryptocurrency is opt-in, so nobody is being forced to do so.

> making our own ads you can't block
I keep seeing this claim, but I don't think its true? The ads are opt-in

This is false. You have to explicitly find and enable ads on Brave. The vast majority of users probably have no idea that they can see ads.
Have you ever used Brave? Even once?
Re: Brave Zoom Competitor
#20Where's the case of this being a true Zoom competitor without some type of comparison, or any other info that pertains to the specific solution it is supposed to be the answer to?
Scratches head.
Me = Zoom user/admin that doesn't love Zoom.
