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

[CannotNerfMe]

Ive actually been using the Brave browser myself for the past month and been very happy with it, not sure how high can tokenomics take the BAT token itself (def hold some myself ofc), but I think that anonymity is becoming a big issue these days. Additionally the browser is WAY WAY faster than any other I have used b4 like firefox, chrome, also it shows how much data ure saving and time saved loading also my phone battery seems to die a lot slower when im using brave (idk if thats related - but seems so). So in general I think that even from the users point of view the project has a lot of potential. Definitely recommending.

BAT has pumped up 32% in the last 24 hours and it has reached a new all-time high of $1.20 the previous high was in 2018 of $0.88, with a market capitalization of about $1.5 billion.

In another episode of crypto regrets, I do regret not picking those BAT tokens when they were priced for as low as $0.21 - during the August price dump. I didn't know we would have a parabolic crypto bull run this year. At $1.20, that means BAT has done around 5x or more. If the bull run continues for at least another 6 months, I'm sure the price would hit $3 and maybe touch $5 or more. I've been a fan since the early days when brave was launched.

Brave browser is one 9f the very few browsers I install on my pc immediately I get a new OS installed. What's more interesting is the fact that users do get to earn some BAT tokens even though it's not usually much but when it's accumulated,  it can be worth a good amount in the long term.

Since the time that brave browser has been introduce to us, it is the browser that I usually use for it is less memory consumption. But sometimes, the ads is too many once you open it, and later on I find out that I can ear BAT tokens while using it. We can earn a tokens from it but just a small amout even if we are using it frequently. I think it because I don't view the advertisements.

Brave browser is planning to launch its own search engine called Brave Search.

Official blog- https://brave.com/brave-search/

The search engine will be based on technology from Cliqz, a German startup that previously owned a major media company in Germany and has now sold to Brave. I had used Clickz in the past because it promised not to collect data and to weight search results based only on browser history. However, compared to Google and DuckDuckGo, the results were not very satisfactory for me. I hope Brave can develop the search technology so that the results are better, then I would give the search a second chance.

Edit: Name was Cliqz, not Clickz

How can you find out how much you can get for viewing ads? And what does it look like and is there a geolocation limitation?

I think it's not possible to see how much you earn per ad view. Everything I know is that you can change the settings of your Brave browser to view up to 5 ads hourly, although it's common to not see any for several hours, and geolocation doesn't only influence disponible ads number as it also influences the payrates.

People really ready to spend their time to watch ads for a few sats?

I would say so yes there are enough people willing to watch computer ads for satoshis.    Just look at how many people use crypto faucets.

It is a similar concept and its a working one.  You just need to stare at your screen and you will earn free bitcoin.  It is not difficult and if you are already viewing your screen you can earn easy money too.

It's much easier than watching ads, because you don't have to keep viewing it for several seconds or complete any captcha. You just use your browser normally and an ad box will appear on the inferior right corner of your desktop (or a notification at smartphone) sometimes. You just click it, open in a new tab and are already credited with some fractions of BAT.

Brave browser is one that I recommend...
I use brave diligently but for the reward, I don't really understand how it works, and don't really care about the token reward either 'lol'.

*curious about when this will be released.

Yes its a good idea by the team to increase the popularity of this browser i personaly haven't use it yet to judge its differences from other browsers but i wonder if the payment is like faucets and how long are these ads.

It is hard to to know how they are calculating your rewards. So just use it because anyway, when you are online, you don't previously care how much you will earn for just browsing the net? And now, aside from saving time or bandwidth and blocking trackers & ads, you are still getting some BAT coins. So not bad, right?

The longer you are using the browser, the higher you will earn. But of course, it is hard to know how much you will earn for example a month of using it. Because it does depend on your internet activity. Just to remind also, upon redeeming your BAT rewards, you need to undergo KYC to fully transfer your rewards to your wallet.

This was their marketing strategy only to get attention from more users. I am a long time Brave Browser user and never face any difficulties. The whole interface looks like crome browser. I mostly use this browser for seeing adds free youtube and browsing. Never registered for getting anything for using that.

whoah free money, I'm excited lol. Is it time to defeat google monopoly? lol, I'm in. People say it's much safer than some browser and by the way, earning from watching ads is much better than do some surveys, I'm really sick of wasting my time on some surveys and not getting anything, and not only that we're talking about BAT here, it has good value, so why not?. I'm absolutely looking forward to this kind of earning some money.

This is the best browser that i have seen in the crypto world. And this project has great potential. Its native coin is BAT. And we can earn BAT coin by watching ads. Brave Browser is easy to use and has very user friendly interface. And the best thing is that we can earn money without any investment in brave browser.

Much safer in what context? You can't generally say that Brave is more secure, since Brave is a fork of Google Chrome and shares much of its code with Google Chrome and other Chrome-based browsers. What can be said is that Brave is much better in terms of privacy, and especially faster, blocking almost all ads without plugins, and thus almost all tracking systems.

6 reasons why it is important to switch to the Brave browser.

[evhars]

I'm now using Brave Browser, which I consider to be one of the best browsers I've ever used. It is the first cryptocurrency software to cross a million users.

I may say that during my browsing period, I have received some tokens. Users are compensated for their time, while publishers and authors benefit from advertising sales, user donations, and tips.

Basic Attention Token solves the endemic inefficiencies and privacy violations hobbling the digital ad industry.
