Brave Browser: Now users can earn Basic Attention Token (BAT) for viewing ads

[mich]

The biggest disadvantage of Brave browser is it requires users to fully complete KYCs in order to be legit and receive BATs. I am not going through their KYC requirement just because I want to receive some BAT from their advertisement views.

Don't be too greedy and self-disclose your identities, then self-destroy your privacy and your money in the long aspect.

The kyc will happen not in brave but in the exchange that will transfer your earn tokens.
You can only earn little amount in brave for the ads unless you prefer refer many friends under you and use bravr, its doesnt matter if you want to earn from it or not its almost the same as using it without earnings .

I like the Browser for its performance not to earn Micro earnings
Privacy is important for me when searching online

Brave beats other browsers in privacy study

Douglas Leith, professor of computer systems at Trinity University, examined six browsers for his report – Web Browser Privacy: What Do Browsers Say When They Phone Home? He found that Brave’s Chromium-based browser is the least likely to reveal unique identifying information about the computer using it.

I think the biggest disadvantage is the fact that they have to keep giving away money constantly and while the number of users are increasing the amount of money earned doesn't, that diminishes over time.

If they could potentially market themselves to companies a lot better and say that "we are basically google chrome with ads so you can rent space here and make sure everyone who uses our browser will see your ad" or something that would be a great addition, I know people hate ads and they use adblock and so forth and all the "ads are evil" type stuff but if you got paid A LOT more money for viewing ads, I am sure you wouldn't mind it. This is right now at peanuts level and do not worth even changing from Chrome which I am happy about, it has to provide a lot bigger income to make me change.

It is a good browser and performs well in tests. It's a solid use case, too. I used it for a while, but didn't see any ads at all (even after going through help to ensure I had everything set up correctly). This eroded my faith a bit, and I stopped using it. Maybe I'll go back in future, as I know others have had good experiences. Probably just teething troubles.

Personally an not seeing this browser from the perspectives many have taken, am personally happy to have a browser than is safe and that can keep mW anonymous. Many I have wanted to have a good privacy browser but found nine till when the Brave browser came onboard.  Am not interested on their earnings with BATs but just surfing the Internet with confidence, that's all I wanted.

The KYC is only done on an exchange which the earned BATs tokens will be sent for exchange and not the browser itself that's requesting for the KYC.

[skeleto88]

Is this in existent ? Because I happen to be a very good brace browser user but I have not seen any form of ads on the platform any time I use brave browser

Will you please explain how it works ??
How to setup an eth wallet with brave to get tokens ??

I think it only available to selected users only if you are using pc same thing in mobile. I have brave browser installed in my phone and I don't have that kind of feature yet while one of my friends who uses brave as well already has that kind of feature and already earning from. Monthly Brave rewards has lessen though.

Although many people are talking about the Brave browser and how to earn BAT. But it seems like the Brave browser is not working quite properly. Because many people complaining that they don't earn anything after using Brave browser for so many days. There are no ads displayed as well. That's why I think that the Brave's team should need to fix these bugs and errors. But if anyone has some useful tips regarding how to troubleshoot the Brave browser, then please share your knowledge with us.

Few days ago I tried brave and liked it till I learn that stupid KYC thing. Instant uninstall.

Fuck KYC.

I am not handing my passport scan to some random overseas guy. This project is useless like this.

The browser is nice for privacy even if youre not earning any bat tokens

Brave deemed most private browser in terms of 'phoning home'

New academic research published last month looked at the phone-home features of six of today's most popular browsers and found that the Brave browser sent the smallest amount of data about its users back to the browser maker's servers.

Brave (BAT) Releases Browser Fingerprinting Protection; Monthly Active Users Cross 12 Million
https://brave.com/whats-brave-done-for-my-privacy-lately-episode3

“This approach is fundamentally different from existing fingerprinting defense approaches; current approaches attempt to make all browsers look identical to websites (an impossible goal). Brave’s new approach aims to make every browser look completely unique, both between websites and between browsing sessions. By making your browser constantly appear different when browsing, websites are unable to link your browsing behavior, and are thus unable to track you on the Web.”

Brave browser has been releasing and giving away BAT token a long time ago, and i really like how you could earn it from just watching ads and you can receive a bat token by just sending it to someone who has their own youtube channel. And this browser is also safe to use, that is why not only crypto users used this browser.

[Malam90]

I have used brave browser but i haven't earned any tokens yet. I haven't found any specialty in brave browser. I have faced few threats when i used this browser from my antivirous software and i deleted this. But i appreciate their promotion as many users of this browser get tokens and earned.

[rdluffy]

I'm in the same boat as most here, I love the idea behind, it's an awesome project and have everything to goes well, BUT this process of KYC to redeem your Bat is horrible
I'll not risk have my entire browse history and documents to the project, unfortunately

I'll do some tests in a controled enviroment (VM) but without KYC, to test the browser and see the earnings

[BTCLiz]

I really like Brave. It seems like it is much more faster than other browsers and of course earning BATs is a really nice innovation. So far I have earned 22 BATs from the beginning of this year. Not too bad.

I hardly get 3 ads daily and I don't want to go to KYC so I guess I will not make BAT out of viewing their ads or any other program that will reward members with their shit coin, but I do love their browser, a good alternative for the browsers I'm using for the last ten years but they will never beat Chrome.

[cryptogringo]

I have been using brave browser for about 5 months and I am very satisfied with the experience so far. I'm not even using it for earning. It is much faster compared to chorme or firefox (I tested it for a few sites myself) and it have many useful tools already built in. Like track blockers and add blockers. It is also safer for users because they don't collect user data directly.   

[maruf01788]

Brave browser is really good. I like this browser. When i install Brave browser, i received 10 BATs. I have been using brave browser last six months. But i haven’t earn any BATs.

[Pecunia non olet]

If the project is really decentralized then they would launch the earn program for viewing advertisements for all countries and not only for the selected one.

Brave Browser’s reward program is now live for the users who will view ads. Now the users will be rewarded in the form of Basic Attention Token (BAT).

On 8th March Brave Ads Developer, Channel Preview advances from phase one to phase two. Phase two provides users the feature to view Brave ads and earn token in the form of BAT and claim that token at the end of every month.

This is pretty awesome because just by using the Brave browser up and viewing ads from it, you can already have a privilege to be rewarder with their Basic Attention Token (BAT). What I can just say is that this is a good promotion strategy to be able to make use of Brave browser. I have used Brave browser before and what I can say is that it is a good browser. I just cannot remember the reason why I have decided to uninstall it before. But maybe because of this, I would try reinstalling it once again and see if it is true and if the BAT is worthy. Anyway, it is already March 10 in the forum so I guess it was already 2 days after the launch of the project which is March 8 so I expect there is already an existing reward policy for viewing ads using Brave browser. I do hope that this will be worthy talking about the BAT because the browser itself is already good. I am up into the BAT more over since I have already tried Brave browser before.
