i dont expect site authors to give 2 shits about security when the alternative is ad revenue. that's assuming they even understand the security/privacy implications of spending 5 seconds to add that one-liner social sharing widget.

75% of web devs wont bother to consider it and the other 24% wont care.

it's the job of browser vendors to provide saftey for the masses. of course the giant conflic of interest here is that most browser vendors get a cut of the ad revenue.

there's a massive need for a payment platform that allows for browsing ad-free but still paying directly for content as-you-go. i think Brave is trying to do this.

cryptocurrency may provide the privacy protections for this type of arrangement.
