If this gains any kind of traction I will be shocked if Google doesn't squash its ability to access YouTube videos. Google can't be ok with this.
Offline videos is a YouTube premium feature.

#42This 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.
Brave already blocks ads on YT (on mobile and desktop).

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
It seems pretty common for tech companies/projects touting openness and freedom becoming that which they fight against. Witness all of the issues Firefox have fallen prey over the years. I remember a decade ago when Ubuntu first added Amazon integration into search results. CyanogenMod losing its way, the company behind it commercializing it and signing the partnership with Microsoft. Seems like it happens a lot.
Put bluntly: We live in a world that success is most often, and routinely, measured in currency. If a company can't convert users into direct paying customers (e.g., I give them money, they give me a service, not talking about ads means you the product type customer) in one way or another, they may instead either turn the customer into the product (ads, for instance) or seek profitable partnerships to sustain the org…
It's just jarring because a lot of these projects I'm talking about straddle the line between mission-driven nonprofits and companies trying to monetize that space. Mozilla is both. Canonical is a company, it just happens to be based around a mission-driven open source product. Ditto for CyanogenMod, or Brave.

Sorry if this was asked already but is Synth chromium based?
No problem. It is. I an curious how you feel about that. The engine is a bit agnostic of the rendering layer (we will have a similarly powerful iOS app at some point too).
I generally oppose anything Chromium, because it's ushering in a return to the shitty days of "this site is best viewed in Microsoft Explorer."
But... not sure what an independent developer is to do about that.

#46Stock pictures never cease to amaze. What a mind-bending collage: https://brave.com/static-assets/images/optimized/playlist-pl...
No better place to learn how to make eggs Benedict than on a plane.

#47> Audio and Video can be saved for offline mode, for playback when you don’t have internet, but they cannot be downloaded and moved to a separate device.
The missing download and export function seems like an obvious and very annoying omission.
Hopefully it can be added in the future.

#48I think this is funny since NewPipe does this already and is open source.

#49This will get shut down very soon. I am actually surprised Apple even approved this. I essentially built the same thing for myself (music player that combines/searches multiple sources, use youtube-dl server to stream optimized mp3 only), I had to skip app store and sideload it.
Isn't it about time we asked what the hell is wrong with this picture? You can't even use your own device to consume content the way you want.
The DOJ needs to break apart Apple. If not the DOJ, then Epic's court case.
Apple literally became the monster in their 1984 commercial.

#50I 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 announce…
I don't understand this. Who is buying BAT, and why, to make it worth two billion dollars? Just speculators like the other cryptocurrencies?
