Title: Challenge: Brave as Default Browser for 1 week
Post by: lightstech on October 17, 2017, 04:32:43 PM
A challenge was recently posted in the BAT subreddit for users to try the Brave browser for 1 week. If you are a fan of the Basic Attention Token project, this is a great way to support and get a sense of how the technology may play out over the next few years.

If interested, you can download the web browser here: https://brave.com/download/ or try the mobile version.

I am starting my 1 week use now and will report back in 7 days on overall sentiment as compared to Chrome or Firefox.

Read the main post again. He just started to use brave browser and may be he would report here after 7 days usage. Anyway I don't use brave browser instead I'll use Chrome or Firefox with an adblocker. That's what brave is trying to achieve right? or will we get paid in BAT tokens for browser usage?

I have been using Brave for many months without any problems whatsoever, but I have no idea how the BAT token is supposed to work with Brave.

Just transfer some BAT from your wallet or exchange to the address you will find in your Brave browser settings. At this point it only works for the pc/laptop browser, not in the mobile versions.
I have changed to Brave on my mobile, pc and laptop and the browser performs very good. It will be interesting to see once they start with the functionality that pays BAT to users for browsing, as I understand this will be in the first quarter 2018.

Yes, I am very interested to see how BAT integration works.

Some see the browser requirement as a hurdle for real adoption. I see it as a great marketing vehicle! So far, I only heard good things about the browser.

I have been using Brave for several months on my phone and on my laptop. THe Browser is great, but the concept of tipping on the sites you visit is something that has little future IMO. People percieve browsing as "free" as long as they ignore adds.

What is the intended integration of BAT into the browser. Is there a specific reason as to why they needed to make an entirely new browser rather than a plugin for existing browsers?

I may download and try it but doubt I will make the switch, even for 7 days.

Does the end user generate any profit from using the browser? What is the incentive.

The incentive is to have a better internet, free of adds and where you reward only those pages that you like. The problem being that you have to pay today´s money for that very foggy future result.
