244 & 245 Brendan Eich, Creator of JavaScript Protects Your Privacy & Gets Kind Words from Edward Snowden

When you are on a mobile device that does not use blockers against ads and trackers, YOU ARE PAYING $23 per month just to load the tracking and targeting scripts for ads. It’s a payday for both advertisers and your telecommunications provider. 

This podcast series explores a potential solution to the problem.

This interview has been split into two parts to make it more digestible. I'm really excited for you to learn more about Brave.

Brendan Eich is an American technologist and creator of the JavaScript programming language. He is currently the CEO of Brave software, the next generation web browser. Brave loads major news sites 2 to 8 times faster than Chrome and Safari on mobile and is 2 times faster than Chrome on desktop.

He co-founded the Mozilla Corporation, which created the Firefox browser, and served as the Mozilla's chief technical officer and briefly its chief executive officer.

Attend my one-day conference January 27th in Pittsburgh. Learn more here.

Brendan’s Two Challenges; 1. Adopt an good ad blocker like uBlock or Disconnect Me. 2. Read a real physical book in the sunlight.
