These obviously guesstimated statistics are a thinly veiled attempt to promote Brave, right?<p>I'm always surprised that Brave is so popular among the HN crowd. I guess that cryptocurrencies are the hot new thing, but Brave's alleged future business model is "hide ads from web pages, <i>and then show our own</i>". That's shockingly sketchy.<p>Using a built-in cryptocurrency to convince users to do their marketing for them under the promise that they might get rich in future when the value goes up is, admittedly, clever, if evil.
