I switched over to the Brave browser 4 years ago and I have to say it's been an upgrade on the Safari, Chrome and Firefox, but we're not completely out of the water. It's still very much a Chrome product, with a few bells and whistles.
I do appreciate the ad blocker the most, it's been great for both websites and social media where i've set up custom blockers so I hardly see an ad on the internet
If sites prompt me to remove my blocker I leave, lol you're not getting my eye balls I am sorry. So it has been a vast improvement on my experience on the web, for both my desktop and mobile browsing experience.
TALK ABOUT THE MONEY????
But that's not what you want to hear about, you want to hear about how much you can earn using Brave, well I don't think that's much, if we look at it. I have been fortunate, having used it for four years so I am sure I got more tokens than most people using Brave.
| Year | Earning (BAT) | USD |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 44,03181906 | $30.8 |
| 2020 | 335,7732741 | $235 |
| 2021 | 65,3815 | $45.76 |
| 2022 | 6,8655 | $4.80 |
- Total: 452,0520932 BAT
- Value in USD: 452,0520932 x $0.705344 = $316
- Value in Sats: 452,0520932 X 1780 sats = BTC 0.00804560
If we exclude the $4.80 I made this year and divide by 36 months, then my average monthly return for using Brave is $8.60 hardly worth running home to but I guess it's better than nothing.
Brave rewards are KYC and overly complex
Earning BAT, many people I've seen would send it to a site like Celsius to try and earn interest, but that became harder as BAT uses Ethereum so unless you've earned a sizable amount it's a waste of time.
I do like the Brave model I just don't like the token, think how much easier it would have been if they just added lightning and liquid support and started running ads that way.
I am sure what I earned in fiat would have been worth far more if they did.
What's also a bit of a bother for me is to redeem your rewards it has to go through a service like Uphold where you need to KYC and dox yourself to pick up a few pennies. If Brave is about privacy then why do we need to do this?
Soon to be moving on
I have to say I have not seen much in terms of improving the product, and once Impervious launches I think I will be moving over to it.
Have your say
What do you good people of HIVE think?
So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, "I am a Jessie."
