Editor’s notes:
I activated the Chrome extension, which comes with the accepted apocalyptic admonishing that “This addendum can apprehend and change abstracts on websites you visit”, and begin that it appeared to assignment as advertised. (Lolli addendum that ‘We ambition that browser extensions provided added diminutive permissions, but abominably they do not.’)
Clicking from the account of food on the Lolli.com website anon activated the Bitcoin discount; visiting organically after activity through their armpit resulted in a pop-up that asked if we capital to actuate it. Smooth.
I approved Walmart’s store, acrimonious up the Cornetto Trilogy on Blu-Ray (because, obviously) as able-bodied as a archetype of Horrible Bosses, because… attending no excuses, I like the movie.
Only afterwards advantageous did I agenda that some of the exclusion clauses brought the Bitcoin accolade bottomward to 0.5% on movies. Afterwards reviewing the FAQ, I additionally acclaimed that “We cannot agreement rewards for purchases fabricated on Brave due to its congenital ad blockers.”
So I may accept acted in haste. You ability appetite to analysis those FAQ’s afore you bead $600 on cantaloupes at Safeway.
Overall the acquaintance was decidedly polished. I’ll analysis my contour afresh afterwards (possibly abundant afterwards – the FAQ’s additionally say that “The time this takes varies by merchant and is about 30-90 canicule afterwards your completed booking or antecedent purchase” to see if Brave did absolutely block my Bitcoin reward… or if I’m a sat-isfied customer.
Ooh, attending at this one! Can I?
Note: we do not acquire announcement or sponsored belief – this abrupt analysis was absolutely apprenticed by the agnostic in me – Jon Rice.
