Similar rules apply in the UK and the EU. In the US, the FTC has required full disclosure of affiliate marketing since 2009 - you have to put it right there on the page. This ignores the legally required disclosures for affiliate links - the disclosures that Brave also ignored for the eToro links in March. Not many people knew about the browser up until around June 2018 when Brave released a test version that had around 250 ads preloaded for testing right after Bitcoin hit its all-time high. This was spotted by on Twitter earlier today.īrendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Brave, assures us that putting his referrer links into URLs that users typed in, to try to get people to click through accidentally, is all completely upright and above-board. Brendon Eich started the Brave project on May 28, 2015.That’s right Brave was started on Memorial Day. If you’re using Brave and try to go to the Binance crypto exchange, Brave hijacks the Binance link you typed in, and autofills with its own affiliate code. Just in March this year, Brave was caught running eToro affiliate marketing without the legally-required disclaimers - and Brave staff were caught deleting all mention of this from the r/brave_browser subforum on Reddit. (I haven't seen this behaviour on mobile.Brave is very into affiliate marketing. I'm running Version 1.49.120 Chromium: 1.64 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10. Is there a way to remove them (or any other given site) from ever being shown on my feed? I'd rather not give these sites even a single view, much less clicks. I have confirmed that I have it unselected in the Customize Dashboard (but it's also at the very top of the "suggested sites" in the list of feeds). There's no way to further unselect or choose "don't show me this" on a given card like there used to be. At first it would be in little roundup boxes lower down on the page, with just a single headline, over the last few days it has come to be featured on the page as the very first articles. Even though I have Fox, NYPost, and all other Murdoch-related media outlets unselected in Brave News on my homepage, over the last few weeks I've started seeing them show up more and more.
