oh cool. when should we expect to see it in firefox?



You can get it at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/coil/ However you need to register at coil.com to actually donate to content creators. If you are a content creator and you want to enable Webmonetization on your site you need to add a Web Monetization Meta Tag to your HTML <head> an probably register at coil.com too (assuming you want to use coil as payment provider.)


well this seems like a 'pay to access' platform which is not what i want. Plus the chances of me convincing users to install an extension, and also pay are very slim. with brave i can at least receive a reward for users downloading the browser and i dont need to paywall my content


You need to read into it more. Pay to access is possible but optional. Creator can do however they like. Installing an extension is required but of course not the final solution. The idea is that browser come with ILP enabled by default in the future. Anyway I convincing users to install a browser is any better.

>and also pay are very slim.

Just like with Brave its only a fraction of user who use it. Adoption takes time. The good thing is you can make your website web monetized and people who don't use it will not notice at all.

>and i dont need to paywall my content

As said above you don't need to do this at all.

i was surprised to see people downloading brave ; it's because of the builtin ad blocking - users get a benefit from it
