Big Technology Company and Case Study
Let’s see the attitude of the public towards the internet, how they are browsing their website? Which internet browser they have using from 2009 to till 2019:
The above chart proves that usages of Google Chrome have been increased by 700% in the last 10 years. Google chrome was developed by Google. According to their website google chrome becomes now more simple, secure, and faster than ever. Chromium is the best technology in itself. Interestingly, Google has become a big player in internet markets. One article that was published in Forbes on Aug 9, 2019, point out us towards their revenue, from which product they have been generating billions of dollars in a few years let’s have a look:
- Google advertising ($116 Billion in 2018 revenues, contributing 85% of total revenues).
- Google other ($20 Billion)
- Other Bets ($1 Billion)
One article from google about AdSense revenue share states that:
“For displaying ads with AdSense for content, the publisher receives 68% of the revenue recognized by Google in connection with the service. For AdSense for search, the publisher receives 51% of the revenue recognized by Google. These percentages are consistent, regardless of a publisher’s geographic location, and are not in any way averaged between publishers. We don’t disclose the revenue share for other AdSense products; the revenue share varies for other products due to different costs of developing and supporting this product.”
Furthermore
Another, a good source of news and investing article publish by Investopedia lead to this conclusion:
“Google takes a hefty 45% percent cut revenue from video advertising.” which is considered huge. Again, This article aware of Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, testify about data breaches, misinformation campaigns and concern about working with China. From different kinds of sources, media and data it’s certain to be true that our data is not 100% protected and data have been manipulating to target for advertisement and sell a product to get more revenue.
Improvement and Respecting your privacy
The Internet is essential nowadays so that it’s hard or even it’s impossible to avoid the internet for the sake of not to share our data and information but have to ask below question to ourselves?
- Are there any better options that can be found where the internet can browse safely?
- If big companies manipulate our private or public data to get revenue can we participate in it (Can we get revenue as well?)?
- When they are saying the browser is Fast, Secure and Private? Is that true? What is the better way?
let’s answer the above question,
When comes to privacy, information, and data it should consider a very important aspect. Either it can be individual or business they must or should consider our information as to their and need to treat like their own. Our personal data such as mobile phone number, email, password scan copy, and more sensitive data might be sold in deep and dark web because of the data breach and data leak.
Brendan Eich and His Discovery
JavaScript inventor Brendan Eich and also the confounder of Mozilla come up with the idea to fix a web called Brave. Brave is the browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini, and Safari. According to Brave website:
You deserve a better internet.
“So we reimagined what a browser should be – it begins with giving you back power. Get unmatched speed, security, and privacy by blocking trackers. Earn rewards by opting into our privacy-respecting ads and help give publishers back their fair share of internet revenue”.
The brave website points out how our data might be misused. As they claim on their website:
“As a user, access to your web activity and date is sold to the highest bidder. Internet giants grow rich, while the publisher goes out of business. And the entire system is rife with ad fraud.”
More features such as
- Block data-grabbing ads and trackers (It blocks all websites and ads include software that tries to identify you.)
- Brave loads major news sites up to six times faster than Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on mobile and desktop.
- Brave Let you use tor right in a tab.
- Earn rewards and support content creators. (You can turn on Brave Rewards to earn frequent flier -like tokens for viewing privacy-respecting ads.
- Can donate tokens to your favorite websites.
Basic Attention Token(BAT)
According to their website
“The Basic Attention Token (BAT) was developed to a market which is filled with middlemen and fraudsters, hurting users, publishers and advertiser. BAT, an ERC20 token build on top of Ethereum, will be the token of utility in a new decentralized, open-source and efficient blockchain-based digital advertising platform.”
Ecosystem
In an ecosystem, advertisers will give publisher BATs based on the measured attention of the user. Users like us also receive some BATs for participating, they can donate them back to the publisher or use them on the platform.
Fight for your privacy and data
This transparent system keeps user data private while delivering fewer but more relevant ads. Publishers experience less fraud while increasing their percentage of rewards. And advertisers get better reporting and performance.
Brave
Finally, Brave comes here, to solve our problem in the surfing of the web. They have pointed out us at
“The first of the solution, the Brave Browser, is already operational. Brave is a fast, open-source, privacy-focused browser that blocks ads and trackers, and contains a ledger system that anonymously measures user attention aggregate to accurately reward publishers.”
