How does Brave calculate "Time Saved"

they probably estimated their browser is 10% faster and then they just multiply 10% * time you used the browser,
in other words pulling the numbers out of your ass is the only way here

>> No.12078881

It told me I had saved 12 hours within 5 minutes of installation. I think sites continually try to load the ads it blocks so the counter never quits.

Ask on the BAT Project subreddit, they respond to everything. Or tweet them. They'll respond on Twitter too. Very active community outreach.

Salty no-BATters. Use your brains, idiots, it wouldn't be a difficult metric to calculate. They've done loads of tests comparing loading time to Google Chrome - in fact, they have a team dedicated to finding that sort of shit out.

It's an estimate based on your connection speed and the size of stuff the browser didn't have to download by blocking it.
A shit metric really.

Also for all the angry plebs saying "shit metric", it says "ESTIMATED" time saved, and is also listed next to three other metrics: TRACKERS BLOCKED, ADS BLOCKED, and HTTPS upgrades. "Shit metrics" indeed. If you think those metrics aren't important you should fuck off back to your data harvesting browser and continue letting Big Data track your location, diet habits, porn habits, family connections, etc. etc. you fucking cuckolds.

Just to add, some people are so cuckolded by these bloated conglomerates like Google, Apple, etc. that their little NPC brains get upset when something new comes along and challenges the status quo.

Competition is the whole point of capitalism, and people are clamoring for new privacy measures. The issue is people don't understand to what extent companies like Facebook and Google are screwing them with all the data they're tracking/recording. People like to live in blissful ignorance about this sort of thing, but Brave saw the need for a privacy focused browser and is taking advantage of that. There will always be pushback because people got so comfortable with Google Chrome. Now some of you cuckolds have stockholm syndrome. "Google would never fuck us like that," while Google has been fucking you in the ass for years

I'm just guessing: You could divide the accumulated size of all blocked tracking/ad assets and divide it by the average speed of your internet connection which can be measured over time.
