Re: Playlist for iOS
#2Neat. It feels like there’s space for browsers to “browse” non-html content. This is a great example. So much of my browsing is media based, it makes sense that the web browser should have media controls and features.
I wonder if generating/editing media could also use some love. For instance, basic audio/video editing so you can clean stuff up before you post it.

#3From the FAQ:
> Brave Playlist supports most open web standards. However, it does not currently support Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools or media delivery services (e.g. Spotify or Netflix).
Other than that, seems like a handy app, especially now that travel is on the upswing again.

#4This seems to be bypassing all the ads in YT? Basically we can get Youtube Premium for free here? Wondering what's the legal implication for brave.com to make such as app?
edit: I could be completely over thinking this.

#5I think creating BAT was one of the smartest things Brave did. How is that relevant?
It has > $2billion market cap. They don't need Google's money like Mozilla.
This feature allows you to download a youtube video and watch it offline. It also lets you play it in background mode so you can listen to audio with the screen off. Google doesn't let you do that unless you pay for youtube.
And on the bottom of this announcement, I see a link to another Brave project, a search engine: https://brave.com/search/

#6FYI, There is a really cool design project here: https://refresh.study/ that also explored the 'playlist' feature.
I've been building a browser the past year (https://synth.app), and have learned a few things from it (including implementing media players like this). Really makes you realize how little our browsers are currently doing for us.

Actually, I should have catch up a bit about what brave is. For those who have just heard about this like me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG981gXqdU4

Youtube-dl also gives you this ability. My sense is that Google doesn't like it but doesn't want to deal with the PR fallout of banning tools like youtube-dl at the moment. Perhaps if this gets popular enough Google will do something.

#9I used to use Brave a lot, not so much now. They seem to be trying to become a privacy-friendly alternative to Google, which I respect, but I'm not sure why, I thoroughly dislike their Brave Ads.
Not because their (edit:they're) intrusive, but they're basically saying "We're going to block ads from Google, but we're going to show you our own ads, because ours are privacy-friendly!" They are adding a subscription feature though, so that might hopefully be a solution.

Is that $2billion in spendable money for Brave?
If people use BATs to pay publishers, that's not Brave's money.
