Secure receives more word of mouth advertising. It's certainly part of my presentation.

What I would like to see come to Avast Secure Browser is a way to directly reward the developer of content you like to reward.

We have such a system in Brave 1.0 browser, where Brave Rewards is their anonymous donation system integrated directly,
with BAT tokens from end-user directly to content developers.

Why you should support grabbers of all of your personal data to pay for free services?
While there is actually no real free ride on the Interwebs.

But blocking crypto-miners is hindering this new form of advertising, so read -> https://coincentral.com/what-is-bat/

However Google and facebook almost certainly are frowning upon such schemes, as it interferes with their main core-business,
which consists of "emptying" you of all of your data, you share with such grabbers, and that is to sum it up quite a lot of data.
