Brave is doing exactly this with BAT on Ethereum but automating the whole thing. You can donate to any website, but you'll also auto-contribute if you choose to have that enabled.
I wish brave would just go for a plug-in approach, and partner with some news sites.
Major publishers are already in bed with Apple News, which is preinstalled on iPhones and iPads. Brave is my goto mobile browser, but it's slow on desktop and its market share is practically zero.
Yah been thinking about trying Apple news. Brave browser really isn’t taking off, that’s why plugins for chrome, Firefox, safari would be better.
