The Brave Browser blocks all ads and makes surfing the web much faster. Best of all, it does not track anything and leaves Google completely out of the woods. If your privacy is important to you, you should definitely use the BRAVE browser for private purposes!
Why do I like the idea of BRAVE and BAT so much?
Because I can make REAL money in the end or exchange BAT into Bitcoin or Ethereum, or even US-Dollar. AND because I can add all my websites, twitter and youtube accounts to the BRAVE publishers account and get rewared for my content! The last one is the greatest benefit in my opinion!
BRAVE is not perfect for every kind of surfing
I do it that way. Professionally, I continue to use Chrome and Firefox, but when it comes to private things, I use BRAVE. As a web developer I can not use BRAVE for everything, since it also blocks some important JavaScripts or does not support some features that Chrome and Firefox have. Anyway it's awesome to visit websites that normally pull down your computer because of too many ads. You will be more productive in the end ;-)
Make money as a User OR Creator!
I even earn money with it! The crypto currency "BAT" (Basic Attention Token), which can be earned by surfing with BRAVE, but also as a publisher of websites, can easily be converted into US dollars or other crypto currencies.
Here's my own website, just verified as a "Creator"
Future of BRAVE
Since the developers of BRAVE u.a. Co-Founders of Firefox and inventors of JavaScript, I see no reason to doubt that this is a very forward-looking thing! Here's what Wikipedia says:
Brave is developed by Brave Software, which was founded on May 28, 2015, by CEO Brendan Eich and CTO Brian Bondy. On January 20, 2016, Brave Software launched the first version of Brave with an ad blocking feature, and announced plans for a privacy ad feature and a revenue sharing program.
If you try it for 30 days, I will get some BAT ;-)
Not that I only recommend BRAVE to you because of the money! And that's the great thing. It's awesome to have a Browser that pays you for watching brave ads and support the community. Plus you can make money as a publisher!
What do I need to make money with Twitter, my own Websites, YouTube etc..
You will need the following things:
- The BRAVE browser
- An account on publishers.basicattentiontoken.org
- An account on uphold.com
Registering your own website is easy
I have chosen the DNS-Record variant to register some of my websites in minutes. Of course it takes some time like 48 hours or so, until BRAVE shows your website or Twitter as "verified". Once the verification is complete, you can start earning money.
Plugin for WordPress
If you have a Wordpress-Website, you can use the plugin "Brave Payments Verification" easily to verify your Blog or Website. The plugin generates the verification file that is needed from basicattentiontoken.org.
My personal GOAL with BRAVE and BAT
I want to get rewarded (and of course reward others, too!), collect some BAT, transfer it via uphold to coinbase and then trade with it or transfer it to my regular bank account
