I think Firefox no longer has memory leaks.
I just which they'd follow Brave's BAT idea, or something along those lines.
Brave's BAT, while feeling kludgeful, is the only innovative idea in terms of funding sites nowadays.
Micropayments => dead
Coil => dead (sorry, on a open stewardship)
Flattr => unknown, guessing dead
So I want to block ads but I ain't depriving the websites of a way of earning money. If they want they can get my money -- but usually only that which was earned by wasting time to look at an ad.
I want there to be a proper micropayments system (hopefully something supporting fiat money instead of just cryptocurrency) but this functionality doesn't belong in the base browser, browser extensions are a much more appropriate place to put this functionality.
Then you'll have to use Firefox because it's the only currently supporting extensions on mobile.
Still, I disagree. Extensions can be bought and sold. It's difficult to track those things.
I believe micropayments mechanisms should be integrated in the browser -- even if the provider can be changed.
Unfortunately the Visa/MC duopoly isn't incentivized to create a micropayments system, so using a third party technology aka cryptocurrency seems to be the only way forwards for now.
