Brave partners with Dow Jones Media Group to test blockchain solutions. #Steemit30for30

Just wanted to share and summarize a new partnership, Brave Software and Dow Jones Media Group announced today they will be partnering in a deal that will bring Media Group content.

To be clear, the partnership just involves the Dow Jones Media Group, not the larger Dow Jones organization (which is best-known for publishing The Wall Street Journal).

The companies said they will be working together to experiment with different ways to use blockchain technology in media and advertising.

Brave is a browser with "your interests at heart." The browser is faster by blocking ads and trackers that violate your privacy and cost you time and money.

Brave loads major news sites 2 to 8 times faster than Chrome and Safari on mobile. And Brave is 2 times faster than Chrome on desktop.

Brave saves you cash. The average mobile browser user pays as much as $23 month in data charges to download ads and trackers -- that’s $276 a year. Brave blocks ads and trackers, so you don’t pay for them.

Even if you have an unlimited mobile data plan or browse exclusively on desktop, you end up paying because your information and time have value (see how Brave guards both below).

Three ways to use Brave:

Privacy by default
The modern web is full of parasitic ads and trackers.

They follow you from site to site, learning all they can about you, and at times may even push malware.

Brave takes a strong stand against these types of bad actors. Ads and trackers are blocked by default, protecting your privacy.

Contribute
Decide if you want to donate to sites. There are two ways:

Set up automatic micro-donations. Brave will automatically divide a monthly donation among the top sites you visit.

And/or, you can decide which sites get what percentage of your donation. It’s called pinning.

Basic Attention Token
Brave Payments utilizes the Basic Attention Token for contributions to your favorite content creators.

Coming soon, you will be able to opt into a new blockchain-based digital advertising system, giving publishers a better deal and users a share of the ad revenue for their attention.
