Brave browser is multiplatform, including Linux, and promising privacy first, and money-making ads secondly, but the kind of ads that are unconspicuous and globally not detrimental to you : no tracking, not even by Brave servers. It is supposed to be a win-win situation : publishers receive bitcoins, and websites and users too. As for users, they have two choices : either keep the bitcoins in exchange for viewing ads, or donating their bitcoins to their prefered websites.
Brave browser would like to make adblockers irrelevant, and pay bitcoins to publishers, websites and users, whereas what we see these days is a war against adblockers and websites being closed because of a lack of ad revenue.
But Brave browser has an uphill battle facing it, Firefox or Chrome users will need more than a bitcoin incentive to change for Brave, and will keep on using adblockers for the forseable future, even if Brave would like this change to happen for the common good.
