Imagine that everything you do online is tracked and closely monitored everywhere you go. Then, all the information gathered about you is sold to the highest bidder by the internet giants (you know them). That’s how the internet works today, but there is a solution – Brave Browser.
Watch this.
“As a user, access to your web activity and data is sold to the highest bidder. Internet giants grow rich, while publishers go out of business. And the entire system is rife with ad fraud” –Brave.
What is Brave Browser?
Brave, or the Brave Browser, is the safest, fastest web browser for Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, and Linux. Brave is a “privacy by default” browser that blocks ads and trackers out of the box –no need for bloated extensions or add-ons.
Brave is privacy on the internet; Brave is speed.
The Brave project is led by the inventor of the Javascript programming language and co-founder of Mozilla Firefox –Brendan Eich.
Let me ask you a quick question. What Browser are you using right now? If it’s not Brave, you should switch immediately because you’re not just losing money but caged.
To help you decide quickly, here are five reasons you should switch to Brave Browser today.
1. Brave Pays You for Your Attention
You spend so much money on data, get tracked all around, and are literarily sold to the highest bidder; even a cent of this money is not coming to you.
Turn on the Brave Rewards switch and get paid to view privacy-respecting ads. You can even set the number of ads you wish to see per hour or completely turn it off if you don’t want to see any ads.
For the first time in the world, you have a choice on the internet, whether you want to see ads or not, and if you decide to see them, Brave pays you with its native digital currency –Basic Attention Token ($BAT) –excellent!
By the way, what is $BAT?
The Basic Attention Token is a digital token used as a unit of account of human attention in Brave Browser.
Like you, users of Brave Browser get paid in $BAT for choosing to view privacy-respecting ads; content creators get tipped with the $BAT by supportive readers, while advertisers pay $BAT to get their ads shown to interested users of the Brave Browser.
The Brave team promises to release more features such as:
- Users like you can spend $BAT on premium content, gift cards, and many other cool ways of spending your Basic Attention Tokens.
- Featuring Brave Ads on some Creator websites will help them earn more ad revenue than existing ad models.
The Basic Attention Token is designed to revolutionize the digital advertising industry by bringing advertisers, content creators, and viewers together and promoting their individual and mutual benefits.
The main goal is to reward users for their attention fairly, content creators for their effort, and give advertisers a better return on investment by paying for ads that are only shown to interested viewers more likely to interact with them.
$BAT is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 utility token with a total supply of 1,500,000,000 and a circulating supply of 1,431,404,738 as of writing this post, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
How much can you earn from viewing Brave Ads?
When you use Brave as your everyday Browser, like me, you can earn up to $5 more or less of BAT a month, depending on your region and various factors.
The Basic Attention Token is one of the best and most undervalued cryptocurrencies you can invest in now.
2. Brave Browser is Faster –I mean the fastest!
CNET.com conducted a battle test between Brave vs. Chrome and Firefox; guess what the result was. No! I’m not telling you; watch it yourself.
Brave loads web pages 3 to 6 times faster because, by default, ads and trackers that sap your data are disabled.
3. Brave Gives You Back Your Privacy
Does it bother you that someone, somewhere, is watching every single website you visit and knows precisely what you do there every single time you go there? That’s not all; the Browser you are using (NOT Brave) is sending your IP address and location back to the owners, who are happy to sell it to the significant data miners for profit and at your expense. Does it bother you?
A recent study was conducted to find out “What Browsers Say When They Phone Home.” The test was conducted on the top six popular browsers, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Apple Safari, Brave, and Yandex, to uncover what these browsers send back to the creators.
To cut a long story short, the study found that used out of the box, “Brave is by far the most private of the browsers studied,” followed by Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Brave is the only web browser that did not use identifiers that allowed tracking of the IP address over time and did not share details of web pages visited by backend servers.
Here’s the full Report.
4. Brave Helps You to “Give Back”
Truly sharing is caring. Ever read some excellent article on a website, and you’re like, “Oh wow!” and feel like saying thank you with a small token (no matter how small?) Brave makes it easier for you to support your favorite sites with Brave Rewards.
Turn on Brave Rewards and give back to the sites you frequent most. Earn FREE $BAT for viewing privacy-respecting ads through Brave and help fund the content and websites you love.
You can help make the internet a better place and richer with fresh content by supporting the content creators you love at the amount that works for you.
Your tips or contributions can be automatically distributed to the website(s) you support based on how much time you spend on the sites, or you can choose to tip the sites directly, and better still, you can set up a fixed monthly tip amount which gets sent to them automatically.
All the while keeping your browsing history private –your contributions are anonymously sent directly to the website owners, so you can’t be identified based on the sites you visit and support.
Currently, over 10,000 publishers and content creators have registered to receive Brave Rewards, including this website. (We appreciate all of you sending tips and helping our authors do more –Thank you!).
Contributions are optional and based on users’ goodwill. Browsing the web with Brave is free.
5. Switching to Braave Browser is Easy: Bring Your Data and Settings along to Brave
It’s incredible how Brave manages to make everything super easy and relaxed. You can import your browsing data and settings from other browsers directly into Brave and continue where you left off –like nothing ever happened.
You can do this during the welcome tour after installing the Browser for the first time or later through the menu item labeled –”Import Bookmarks and Settings.”
