[FRIAM] The year ahead

https://brave.com/about.html sez:

We have a mission to save the web by increasing browsing speed and safety
for users, while growing ad revenue share for content creators.

I.e. resolve the advertising privacy/malware problem while providing an
income stream for content providers currently using ads.

It's currently the fastest browser simply due to not including bloat.

It is based on chrome's v8 engine, thus developer friendly.

They are working on formalizing "good" ads, much like html5 defined "good
audio/video" and ridding us of flash.

It will use bitcoin for funding content providers brave users visit via
micropayments.

So it's an idea to make the web a lot safer by defining standards needed by
content providers for advertising and other funding.
