[PYTHON] [All-new best browser] Let's change the way the Internet works and how it works with the Brave browser.

Introduction

~~ This is more than just a plugin. It symbolizes the hope and passion of all people of the same generation, summarized in the two most famous words sung by Louis Armstrong, Hello, Dolly. ~~ __ This is not just an article. It symbolizes everyone's hope and passion for the open internet, sung by Robert E. Kahn. __

Overview

This article describes the Brave browser. You can use the Brave browser to browse Youtube without ads, and you can earn money by visiting the site. It's also a browser that can monetize websites and Twitter on behalf of Adsense. But not only that __1. Change the way the Internet works (defined in Google's free service) __ __2. Properly reward content creators __ It's a browser born from a completely different paradigm that aims to do that (the creator is Ike, the creator of JavaScript and former Mozilla CEO). Therefore, while mainly explaining how to monetize as a creator and how to browse websites and earn money, we will also introduce the background and philosophy of the Brave browser. It's a very interesting effort to change the structure of the Internet, and I think it's a story that anyone who uses the Internet is involved with, so please take a look.

Constitution

・ What is Brave browser? ・ How to set creator monetization ・ How to set monetization as a user

What is a Brave browser?

Technically, it's a Chromium-based browser released in 2019. But it's not just a browser. The decisive difference from the others is that Ike, the creator of JavaScript and former Mozilla CEO, created it with the aim of radically changing the way and how the Internet works. __ But what about changing the way and how the Internet works? .. Here, I would like to summarize by organizing from Mr. Ike's point of view in an easy-to-understand manner. (Because the Brave browser is not yet major, please allow the first stage to be longer.)

Brave browser focus and current issues

Regarding the existing Internet system, there is a limit to how you can develop services for free and monetize with advertisements, right? I understand that __ is the starting point. __ From the user's point of view __

• Isn't it too disturbing for advertising?

That is the limit, __ as a content creator __

• I don't know if I advertise it. I wonder if I have to do affiliate marketing. (I can't make the content I want to make)

From a business model and ethical point of view, Apple's Tim Cook said, "If the service is free, the recipient is not the customer, but the product." If you squeeze

javascript.js

function Maximize advertising profit(
Tim Cook="If the service is free, the recipient is the product, not the customer."
){
 =>(User-="Just a variable";)
}

about it. This seems correct, but if you look closely, it's a grammatical error, right?

Originally, the Internet was supposed to be decentralized and free, but now it is in a super-centralized state where platformers dominate in "data sucking x advertising", right? Moreover, the treatment of each person is just one of the variables, and isn't there a different mechanism? That was the point of view of Mr. Ike.

Method

So Ike suddenly left Mozilla and started creating the Brave browser. I think that the person who created JavaScript and led Mozilla is different, but Ike, who suddenly resigned as CEO of Mozilla, said

japanese.js

He resumed programming as if he was reborn, and developed an unprecedented browser called Brave.
Brave removes the harmful effects of cookies and
It changed the way the Internet works, where everything is decided from the top down.

That is ("The day when Google disappears Life after Google (by George Gilder)").

What will change in the end?

When I read a book or look at the official website, there are various things written, but in short, there are the following merits.

__ User Benefits __

• Users have full control over the display of ads on the Brave browser. Can be blocked or displayed
• Users can get monetary consideration (bat points linked to cryptocurrency called bat) by displaying advertisements on the browser. It is also paid to the content creator.
• Users can donate the consideration to the content creator
• Users do not sell or collect personal information

__ Merits of publisher __

• Expect a positive reaction from users

__ Content creator benefits __

• Get a third monetization method other than Adsense or affiliates
• The layout is not broken by excessive advertisement
• Expect donations from users of the Brave browser (content itself will be valuable!)

That is the point. It's big when you think about it like this, isn't it?

More than ・ What is Brave browser? ・ How to monetize creators ・ How to monetize as a user It was the first part of the three configurations. Now then, I would like to describe how to actually monetize. It was possible to use it together with Adsense, so I think you should definitely register (it was not as strict as Adsense). If you are not a WEB system, please go through here. [There is a way to use it as a user below this. ](Use brave browser as #user)

Register with Brave browser

We will set it from this official website. https://brave.com/ja/

There are two main things to do to register as a creator in the Brave browser.

• 1. Register as a creator and register the site you want to monetize.
• 2. Insert the plugin and enter the publisher ID to authenticate the site

1. Register as a creator and register your site

Click the "Creator" button at the top right of the top page to jump to the following page. https://creators.brave.com/?locale=ja Press the register button and enter your email address.

You will receive an email, skip the link provided there, enter your name and you're done. It's very easy. When you log in, you will see this screen.

We will register the site here. Click the "Register Channel" button on the top right and select the channel you want to monetize from the cards below. It seems that Twitter etc. can also be monetized, but in my case I chose a website and entered the domain. Then he decided that it was WordPress. (I didn't know what would happen with Angular React, Python site, but I think I can go because I'm just making a text file equivalent to ad.txt)

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the plugin and authenticate your site.

Plugin installation

https://wordpress.org/plugins/brave-payments-verification/ Download the zip file from, upload it as a new plugin from the WordPress administration screen, and activate it.

Validate your site by adding validation code

A line called Brave Payments Verification will be added in the plugin of the management screen, so select it and add the verification code displayed on the previous screen. All you have to do is press the verification button on the page where the verification code is displayed.

Then you will receive an email like this, so the creator registration is complete.

Finally, deactivate the plugin to finish. (It is necessary to link with PayPal at the payment destination, but this can be done immediately if you have a PayPal account, and I think that there is no problem even if it does not mean that you are a creator registration in particular)

that's all. You have now registered as a creator in the Brave browser. __ After that, when the user accesses through the Brave browser, the payment for the content will be transferred. __ (But it has not been verified yet. I registered at https://np-sys.com/, so if anyone accesses it with the Brave browser, I will add the transfer amount etc. Also, comment on the site registered as a creator If you can tell me, I will put a link under the article in the form of a list of participating sites. Please contact me)

Use Brave browser as User

The above explained how to register as a creator, but you can also use the Brave browser as a user. Using the Brave browser has three advantages over Chrome and Safari.

• You can browse the content without ads
• It is also possible to display advertisements, in which case you will earn money by viewing advertisements
• Can be thrown to the site creator

Of these, I think it's hard to understand that you can make money by browsing the site (advertisement). I wondered if there was such a delicious story, but this can be understood based on the idea of the Brave browser. In other words "Reset the ad-based web ecosystem to provide a win-win solution that benefits advertisers, content publishers, and customers alike." That's what the Brave browser is all about. Well, I think it's like the original funds for throwing money, and without such a mechanism, it wouldn't spread easily, so I think it's a good mechanism.

How to use Brave browser as a user

Then, it is finally the installation method of the mysterious Brave browser that you can get pocket money by browsing the net. All you have to do is download and install it from the official website. Official → https://brave.com/ja/

After installation, enable Reward to complete monetization. It does not aggregate personal data. Generally, one advertisement costs about 1 yen. It's not a big deal because you can only display ads 5 times an hour at the maximum, but it's great that you can donate the proceeds to the site creator. I think that if a small amount of money is collected and the amount of money is large to some extent, the content creator can be rewarded in a legitimate way. This is a healthy form of society, where the creators can see the content and be recognized in the form of money, isn't it?

Summary

So, in this article, I introduced you to the next generation Brave browser. __1. Change the way the Internet works (defined in Google's free service) __ __2. Properly reward content creators __ It's a browser born from a completely different paradigm that aims to do that, and can be used as a way to replace Google Adsense (actually, it can be used in parallel). I love Google both as a developer and as a user, but I also sympathize with the Brave browser philosophy. I think the Brave browser works very well, and diversity is important for everything, so I would like to use the Brave browser as well. Please consider it by all means. It was a light and normally good browser.

Last but not least, this article is based on America's best-selling book, Life after Google (by George Gilder). It was a lot of philosophical things, but it was fun.

Postscript

I would like to aggregate the sites in Japan that support the Brave browser. If you tweet with "#brave compatible", we will aggregate it and introduce it in the following Qiita article. https://qiita.com/NP_Systems/items/58c39411e1fa09477bce
