Also,

I think if the coil plug-in and Puma Browser blocked "cookie notifications" like Hush Noiseless Browsing oblador.github.io/hush/ but with improvements funded by monetization, that would be a killer feature.

We shouldn't need cookie notifications anyway, if a site is ad-free and funded by monetization.

I would be willing to collaborate on this feature.

Nice article Uchi!

I agree. I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

I think we need a search engine that is only for monetized content.

I’m sick of Googling for a cooking recipe and getting bamboozling websites so full of ads and pop-ups that it’s hard to find the actual recipe e.g. Easy Tahini Recipe – Better Than Store-bought

We could put a positive spin on it. It could be called the “ad free web”, or perhaps the “quality web”, or “creator’s web”.

I’m a developer myself and might be interested in contributing to such a project.

Alternatively, I notice runnaroo.com/ doesn’t have an option to only show monetized results. If they did, then job done, and I’d use it.
