Brave browser

btw is it worth it to use brave? what is the income of a avid web browsing person and what is the income of tips for a creator/anything that accepts it? is it nothing compared to lets say providing liquidity?

if there is somewhere a thread about bat please point me to it!

I see a review says 5$ a month

It depends on growth of BAT token value more than anything. I started using Brave shortly after it came out and so the value of what I’ve earned is really quite nice because BAT token value went up a lot over that time period. If you start using now, it’s hard to say. You don’t get very much of the ad revenue, but if the BAT token goes up a lot more you could end up with a fair value for your clicking time.

Brave ads don’t have to be turned on though for you to take advantage of it’s other nice features. Overall I find it to be one of the best browsers out there right now.

Brave is for security and adlessness if you want it. I make an effort to clicjk on the ads that interest me and make a total of about 3-4 BAT per month over my desktop laptop and phone. I usually just send them on to @Dimitar.

The big win is the security, knowing you are not being tracked - if you stick with DuckDuckGo. If a number of us switched to Brave and sent the tips to @Dimitar then all these small amounts would add up to something worthwhile each month.
With Brave and a pi-hole I generally see only the ads I choose to see. Some sites whine about ad-blockers, sod them.

Yes but last time I tried using Brave it ended up asking for money. So I ended up switching back to Firefox. Also Brave doesn’t seem to have as many addons.

Last time I tried installing Brave on Linux Mint, there was something screwy with the signature keys.

Nobody is making you give them money.
Lots of people ask me for money. Considerable numbers of them get hee-haw.

@Sascha Did you raise an issue? That sounds serious.

In my limited experience, any Chrome add-on works with Brave. I tend to use very few add-ons as I generally don’t trust them.
Having said that I do use Metamask and it Just Works with Brave.

No, I didn’t. I didn’t feel like messing around with it too much. I did a search, and apparently it’s a common problem. If I recall correctly, some official Brave site just told people it was “normal” and nothing to worry about. So I stopped worrying, and went back to using Firefox.

When I tried Brave earlier I had problems with their wallet. That time I did raise an issue, but got tired of waiting for it to be fixed. I may be wrong, but the Brave project doesn’t feel like it’s ready for daily use yet.
