Brave Browser Blocking Cookie Consent Notices Since It Already Blocks Cookies
The KTracy.com Ministry of Information Technology has finished switching all of its internet-connected computers over to the Brave Browser. Brave continues to improve with every update and we got to the point where ignoring the superiority of Brave was hurting productivity at KTracy.com. Unfortunately, the staff at KTracy.com spend about 7.8 hours a day on average surfing the internet instead of actually working. As the team surfs the web, they spend a shocking amount of time clicking through cookie consent notices or turning off cookies on every individual site they visit. Without having to turn off cookies, we suspect the KTracy.com Staff will spend closer to 7.6 hours surfing the web instead of 7.8 hours.
We'd literally be doubling the productivity around here!
For those of you who are unaware, Brave is a modified version of Google's open source Chromium browser (the open-source version of Chrome) with several important differences.
- There are OPTIONAL, non-intrusive ads that reward you with cryptocurrency (Basic Attention Tokens - BAT) for viewing and clicking
- You can keep your BAT for yourself or donate them to your favorite creators (like KTracy.com).
- Google isn't all up in your business and tracking your web usage.
- It's faster than Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge
- Security settings are up front, super easy, and set up wonderfully by default.
- Ads and other web-bloat are blocked by default.
The only thing we don't like about the Brave browser is that it is based on the Chromium project. While we like that Google has made Chromium open source, a dangerous supermajority of modern web users rely on Chromium-based web browsers. If you use any of these, you're using Chromium.

It's for this reason, just in case something bad ever happens with Chromium, we left Mozilla Firefox on everyone's computers. However, we deleted everyone's bookmarks, saved passwords, and other data. The only thing we kept was everyone's web history. We need a constant stream of blackmail to keep some people in line.
