Is it really useful to use this app as your main browser or what can you guys suggest?

It is hard to replace your primary browser. I have been using Chrome for a long time now and for most of us this is our primary browser. As of now, I have also started using the Brave browser. The primary reason for using Brave is security and ad-free browsing. But, it is hard to leave Chrome.

Cryptotab is also providing somewhat same service as Brave, you can give it a try and then decide.

After Chrome adaptation, I tried so many browser. Firefox, Tor, Brave, Opera, Edge and many others. But no, I couldn't used to it. It is hard to use that browser after Chrome.
I heard that browser several times but never tried. Please if you tried, give us detail information starting from security.

As far s I know it's an extension on google chrome browser, am I right? Honestly I haven't ever try this and I don't see this as a good thing or something useful.

It lets you to mine Bitcoin is something interesting for some newbies in crypto space but how does it seem great when we know Bitcoin is the hardest currency to mine (cause we need very much resource to get enough profit from it)? I mean, people would lose their interest when they know it's just a penny.

If you want to try use browser that maybe useful for you to earn some money or whatever it is, you could try Brave browser. It is similar to google, but you can make money from it.

It is incredible how many cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts are using this spyware, Chrome...

No doubt the best browser for privacy and security is Firefox, with some addons installed (Like Ublock origin and HTTPS everywhere)

Take a look at this topic

CryptopTab Browser is a lite pc web browser that's chrome compatible, so you can use chrome extensions. It was specifically designed for convenient mining of Bitcoin while you browse. They also have android and IOS versions of the browser. I'm not sure how legit this project is or how exactly mining could be any beneficial from within a browser, especially for just one person, but maybe it's worth taking a look at. The way I see it is like this, If my computer alone can't mine very well, what can my browser do thats any different? I could be wrong though, who knows?

Be careful about using this browser like the above said it is mainly for mining not actually Bitcoin they are mainly mining altcoin but they are just paying you in BTC.

I tried to access their site just now and here the result:

They are blocked in chrome that is why they make a clone of Brave browser but the difference is they taking your CPU usage to mine altcoin it's not profitable it can only reduce the lifespan of your PC or laptop.

If you want to earn while browsing the only recommended browser to earn is Brave browser you can earn from them by watching ads unlike cryptotab that they use your CPU usage that can kill your PC or laptop.

I didn't think about using it, but could you help me? If we use this browser, is there any chance of damaging our computer?
Or is it possible to have any form of fraud or something? Obviously, this kind of program has always scared me.

I'm not actually using this browser they mostly promoting their plugin extension before which I think the reason why it's blocked by Kaspersky.

I don't know if they are a fraud but cryptotab can damage your Computer if you set the mining at full speed so if the CPU usage high the computer might damage due to high temp. They can only pay you a small amount and it's not worth it to use while browsing you can't get your ROI back if your PC is damaged after using their browser.

My suggestion is don't use them instead or if you are looking for a browser that can earn while browsing switch to the Brave browser much better than that.

Personally, I don't see any specific advantage the cryptotab Browser has over the already existing Browsers. For me, I don't think I will use it as my main browser. I prefer chrome to be my main browser but I might use the cryptotab browser if I need an extra browser for doing other stuff online.

Searching around the forum, you will find a lot of discussions about this so called Cryptotab Browser:

Can the Google Chrome extension Cryptotab really get you $50,000 a month? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5018533.0)

Easy mining only with Cryptotab browser (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5057110.0)

So I would advise everyone to stay away from this, unless you really wanted to damage your hardware to earn a peanuts.

Nah, I suggest you use your default built in browser. Some browsers out there are injected with malicious software that could steal your usernames and passwords. Google chrome browser has the feature that saves your user and password and that's dangerous. Because once your Gmail account is hacked. Then the hacker will get that also. Some browser also is injected with keylogger so they can easily know your user and pass.

In my opinion this cryptotab browser is not too special, after I tried using it it was almost similar to Brave browser. It's just that
I feel using this cryptotab the advantages may be lighter and faster when browsing. But I it's too comfortable using the google
chrome browser so it's back to using chrome for now. For those who haven't try the cryptotab browser app please try it first, who
knows comfortable. Because in my opinion almost all browsers have the same ability it depends on your taste.

I think it is useless and I loled the first time I saw it. It doesn't mine bitcoin like it says we all know that. just the fact that they are lying and so misleading. It mines quitely in the background some altcoins and sells it for bitcoin and gives you a small cut. You better off just mining some altcoin yourself and using your browser while you do it. It will be safer too. The only browser that is worth using to earn by using is the bat browser which sadly does not distribute ads to my country. It is just a misleading ploy to create profits off of people who do not know any better.

Combining your browser and cryptocurrency wallet is a terrible idea IMHO.

Why not try Brave browser instead of using this cryptotab that will hurt your machine in the long run?

So it's not worth a try, maybe you can earn few satoshis in return with their mining capability, but the damage it can be done in your machine in the long run is not very good. There are better ways to earn satoshi here. And for all intent and purposes, you won't earn 1BTC/month, that's outlandish claim.

Alright, I think I made up my mind. Not gonna install cryptotab browser to avoid malfunction of my phone and laptop. I might gonna give a try for Brave browser. Thanks a lot. Such a great help.

Yes i think I'm not gonna earn even $10.00 a month if I don't have any refer friends. And since you said it can hurt my phone. I think I don't have to install it. Thanks!

In addition, Chrome eats your RAM without even realizing it.


Yaaasss. And I heard you can earn like $.01 in every ad you watch. So basically, you can earn more in brave browser than cryptotabs.

Just heard that cryptotab, tbh.
Also, it's a relief that brave browser was founded by the co founder of Mozilla. *sigh

I have never tried CryptoTab Browser because I often use Brave Browser, Chrome, and Mozilla. I have felt comfortable using this for a long time, but to act as a CryptoTab switch I would think again, because I see it rarely people use the CryptoTab Browser.

Good decision! and that's what you have to do, listen to the voice of the community for those who have told you to avoid this kind of browser. Brave browser is way better than cryptotab.

Just make sure that you will enable the brave rewards and sign up your uphold account.

Two of my anti virus are blocking this application and there are a lot of bad reviews about Cryptotab, because they have a miner snippet that's running in the background, you can use it at your own risk at a spare computer, but never on a computer, where you access your private keys, passwords  and important files that pertains to all your Cryptocurrency portfolio, and besides you earning is not that huge to consider running something that steal your computer usage.

In a simple sentence, it's a good browser but leaves too many things out, and it isn't worth using it for the little bits of crypto-currency they give you for letting them use your browser to mine.

Using a browser like Firefox/Chrome is so easy with their extensions and it gets really hard for regular people to swap browsers, especially when you starting using sync features and then getting all your tabs to sync across different browsers is so easy.

Not exactly sure how much money it'll net you, but definitely not a lot if your using an old/cheap laptop, and it won't be worth killing your expensive computer for it either.

Yes and the earnins is just few satoshi is not worth it installing you will experience laggy if you plan to earn higher.
Possible your laptop or mobile will get a problem when you are continue running it .

You cant blame people not to use up Chrome but i agree with your point here this is why i dont exchange Firefox with Chrome
and now im considering Brave browser to make it as an optional browser if i do multi tasking.
For Cryptotab browser i dont know for this browser exist.For op just stick out on whats being mainly suggested.Chrome looks like the
typical choice on here.

Just here it from you now, is this site just about cryptocurrency?

Waiting for the review form the other user because it seem like I have to be carefull to use new platform so I can avoid the undesirable things.

I have some browser in my phone or in my PC but I just often to use chrome and brave browser. And I just suggesting, if you are a crypto user then you should choose brave browser as your main place. Because the platfrom is using cryptocurrency to give a reward form its user and have high security as well.

i guess its not a site but its a browser ( you know the one that we use when we surf the web , ex. google chrome )  and its related to crypto i guess due to its obvious name  but your right though that we must not rush things up and better if we wait for someone ( some expert ) to test this software so that he can identified if its safe or not  . you also mention brave browser .  i hear many good feedbacks with it and its not new anymore but for now i do prioritize chrome

It depends on mate - a lot of people use chrome due to how simple things are with it, and there's also the google ecosystem which just works amazingly with Chrome - and there's also the factor a lot of people don't know that Google actually keeps your user data, and it isn't an issue to those people.

If you want to go full privacy out, just go for a firefox browser with the duckduckgo search engine, install a VPN like private internet access or tunnelbear and you'll be fine. Some people just can't be fucked though.

No... It's not a site about cryptocurrency, it used to be a browser extension that let the browser hog up CPU useage and mine BTC, but now after they got blocked, they made their own browser. Please look at the item you are talking about before posting.

It's a mining browser that takes away some of your computer resources, if you have a high-end computer and you  can secure all your wallet and passwords then you are free to use it, I have not tried to use it, because first time I downloaded it it shows at least 4 warnings in my two anti-viruses, they will tell you that it's a false positive, but will you risk your computer on something that's running in your background when you cannot really earn huge here, you need a lot of referrals to earn decent here.

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages of using it, so it's really not worth it.

I'm happy with Chrome being my default web browser. Even if I want to pick a second browser, it'll definitely be brave browser. I know cryptotab features a server dependent mining and that users can actually "earn" some BTC. I just think it's a waste of time. According to reviews I saw on playstore, on average, it would take around 2-3 weeks to make 1k sats. Not to mention the load it puts on the device CPU and other factors. If anyone wants to enjoy the full capabilities of cryptotab, I would suggest they try out the desktop version instead. For me, If I'm going for a browser that offers incentives to users, It'll be Brave Browser. No offense.


 

I suggest that you protect yourself and do not get involved in browser-based mining which steals your computer power do check your computer resource and you'll see that it always hit 100% and make your computer lag I have a friend using that and it's not worth,
much preferable to post in Cryptotalk, your one post can earn you 1000 sats, while you will have to wait for several days to earn that if you run Cryptotab Browser.
When it comes to using a browser always settle with a secured one like Brave and Mozilla and always use a good cleaner to clean your cookies.

It’s quite natural that, when cryptos are not treated so friendly in many parts of the world, the deals which involve cryptos are always doubted with their intentions. Crypto tab too was asked by many,-’ Is it a Ponzi scheme?’

As the crypto tab does not charge any amount to register. It’s 100% free of charge with no upgrades available. As long as your browser works, it generates some income for you. Confusing MLM is often mistaken by a Ponzi scheme which is not justified.

So earning money through Crypto Tab Browser is definitely not a scam, but a passive source of income which usually requires a little more time. On the other hand, it’s a better option to earn by referring to your contacts.

I didn't think you should take this risk if using lesser known browsers or apps particularly when you are a crypto user too.
We keep hearing of malware, virus, hackings etc. If you want to save yourself from all these mishaps, please don't use any unknown app.
Chrome, firefox and opera are good browsers.
