I'd love to see a web standard for small donations via the browser. Whenever I see an article that helped me with a problem or was entertaining to read, I'd like to donate a small amount for it.

At the moment I only have the following options:

- clicking on ads on that page, to hopefully intirectly generate income for the author (but more likely will cause some profiling AI to wreak havoc on my reputation)

- having a paid account upfront, which is usually connected with the entire site and not this specific article

- create accounts for numerous payment and donation systems (patreon, paypal, buymeacoffee, ...)

- manually reach out to the author and ask them for their bank connection.

For me the perfect solution would be a browser-plugin, where I click on "Donate for this Article", enter an amount and maybe an optional comment and click "ok".

Isn’t Brave doing this?

Yeah, but it's crypto nonsense
