Why I Don't Use Brave Browser

[wtsimis]

Most of us know and use Brave Browser, a leading browser application, a pure example of a web3.0 application with monthly 50 million active users. Brave brings a new model of the web browser in the internet media. Users can now easily use the browser without seeing the ads and also can uniquely tip the creators, but I consider some reasons that cause me not to use the browser. 
Reasons:
1. Users will not see any types of ads and also at the end of the month, a user can automatically tip a content creator. But if I say, any content creator does not have any wallet to receive that? then how can he/she generate revenue from that particular viewer?  For instance: I frequently surf a specific website using the brave browser, but the content creator does not have any wallet to receive any kind of tip., then how can he/she generate basic revenue from me cause I don't see any ads from the site.

2. Brave Browser tip model is more comparative with tier 1 countries. I'm using Brave Browser for the last 6/7 months, till now I only got 0.063BAT(0.06 USD). Now how can tip my favorite content creator with this penny? If you are from tier 3rd country, I'm pretty sure you also do not gate proper tips funds to donate content creators.

3. Uphold has only supported wallet for funding and withdrawals, and Uphold only supports around 35 countries fully for depositing and withdrawing. It creates a barrier for viewers who wanna deposit funds, those who think about their favorite content creators. 


I do not doubt that Brave made an excellent model of web 3.0 but they should update their system to lunch it globally. Many content creators from all around the world have a basic plan for revenue-generating from the ads, and I think the Brave browser creates a large barrier between the users and creators.
The whole thing is only my point of view, I might be wrong but I followed many youtube channels and bloggers that run from my country, where ads revenue is low, now if I used the Brave browser it will not grateful to them.

I'll keep on using Brave Browser because  it seems effective to me and I always want to avoid those annoying ads that pops whenever you're searching through search engines.

It's also effective to have no ads while watching some YT vids.

I have one more reason! For now I dont believe that it is safe, because crypto wallets and crypto adds need to be high protected!

[ryzaadit]

I'm not using it.

Because "Brave Browser" limited a few features and blocked a few things. Makes, some of website and other is not working while using their browser. I know most of 80% people using brave browser not just because the feature but reward brave. ~XD.

One of my NFTs game can't support brave browser.

Then you're thinking about your own. I know some people from my country who start recently blogging and making Youtube videos related to the crypto industry. If I used Brave their earning will be reduced. I think it's my duty if I gather some knowledge or information from them, I should think about their side also.

Definitely right, Some of them depends on their Channel for a living, especially at this moment of time where we need each others humane characteristics to help others, spare them a little bit of your time and not skipping ads.

I feel like I wanna explore and use Brave browser too, I am fond of watching videos and also read stuffs online. I think I will try it and see for myself if it is worth to use.

It's not about thinking on my own.

It's about using the feature that seems effective to me. And I'm not the only one that's annoyed with those ads, it's in line with the feature of brave browser.

They've chosen to do what they want to do and I'm also choosing what I want to do and choose the browser that I think is good for me. Nothing personal though.

[Husires]

The distribution of BAT to them is terrible and exploits users, all the features that were a reason to use them in the past have become normal features, so there is no financial benefit from downloading the browser.
The browser is still slow and a lot of fake reports are due to the use of user shields.

Let's not ignore the privacy issues that some people have been talking about.

Brave Browser Falls Short of Its Promises of Privacy
Brave browser: The bad and the ugly

[zasad@]

Do you remember the scandal on the Internet?
https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269214785373196288?
I do not use this browser and do not use the wallets that are built into browsers. I'm not sure if this is safe, so it's best to use hardware wallets and compatible browsers.

[coco23]

Wow, I am surprised to see so much hate for the browser here. I thought crypto fellows are open minded and interested in solving problems that the traditional companies have not yet tackled.

I am also very careful with wallets that are included in the browsers and I share security concerns, but the idea is a very good one.

2. Brave Browser tip model is more comparative with tier 1 countries. I'm using Brave Browser for the last 6/7 months, till now I only got 0.063BAT(0.06 USD).

I am using the Brave browser since the beginning of the month and I am now at almost 1 BAT. You can choose how many ads you want to see and how much you are willing to donate to the content creators. Maybe you have your settings on (almost) no ads?

I agree the distribution model might not be ideal yet, but you have to start somewhere. There is no perfect solution just coming into existence. If more people use the browser than more content creators will be included into the distribution, just because of the increasing popularity.

[glendall]

everyone has their own opinion about their flagship browser, I use brave because in my opinion it is more friendly than crome, where if you watch a few ads that are displayed on the browser
for the problem of gifts I think it's impossible for me to get it because uphold is never in the app for some reason, but that's not the reason I don't use brave
where I'm looking for speed not the prize

They are stricter than I expected. Maybe, if we are talking about privacy, that can be certain. Well, I's still using it but not often, I was still on the other rival search engine.

And talking about rewards, I'm not sure how many had even gotten it. Maybe I've got some but just ignore it, perhaps, I use not for the intent of having those rewards, it is my privacy and safety. That for sure, out from those who use Brave browser is fir the sake of getting BAT token, well, I hope they got some and sell them.

I agree with this opinion, Like you mate I was also a Brave browser user because I like the functionality and it was fast, safe and no annoying pop-ups because the brave browser blocks it and I believe that was well-tailored offered services for FREE plus also you can earn some BAT tokens as additional I guess that reasons are enough why we should use Brave browser.

[Coin_trader]

Using brave browser is an option and not mandatory. Users agree on Brave browser terms by using it  which includes the feature about ad block and how it controls to give incentives for both user and content owners by using brave for browsing. As you mention on your statement, Brave a has lot of good feature and the only thing you don't about it is because it creates barrier to user and creators in terms of earnings which I highly doubted.

[OcTradism]

You have to watch advertisement in order to get BAT in reward. Additionally, do you like to do verification in order to claim your $BAT? I do not like this procedure and a whole thing. Because I have to accept annoying advertisement  just to have been able to get some $BAT but not only this, KYC is a next step to claim it.

In addition, Brave browser does not have much different than Chrome. Don't let their promise on privacy and use Brave. If I would prefer to use a browser to protect my privacy, it should be Tor browser or Fire Fox, not Brave.

[Reid]

You are too much focused on the rewards. I use it just because of the ad blocking feature. I don't really care about other things it would do. You don't get that with Chrome or you will have to pay an extra amount just to have an ad blocking extension.
Well, what browser will you use now? Back to Chrome. I hate Chrome because of it's large memory eating application and Brave is not that kind. Same with Mozilla Firefox they are both consuming memory at minimum which I like because I am running other applications.

[maartenhaha]

There are many opinions about brave being able to block ads and running without consuming high memory, but it's not very interesting to use brave app because my PC has been upgraded to high performance so it's fine to run chrome and mozilla at the same time.

[sulendra12]

It's also effective to have no ads while watching some YT vids. 

Adblock exists.

Maybe a little bit biased but I'm using Chrome as my main browser because as a web programmer I need developer tools to help me debug my application and Brave browser is nowhere close to Mozilla and Chrome in terms of usage of dev tools, Mozilla and Chrome are simply the best for that case. But, it's just up to you to earn something while browsing I guess.

Yeah, even without the bat thing.

It's a good browser and you know what's more? Unlike the usually known browsers like Google Chrome, this doesn't eat that much ram space of your pc/laptop.

That's even greater without the bat rewards.

[KaliLinux]

I do use it sometimes because I think it is a bit faster and free from most of these unnecessary ads pop-ups that disturb your browsing sometimes but it also blocks some of the needed pop-ups from some of the sites I use and that makes me switch to other browsers but other than that, I think Brave browser is actually good overall.

Other than that brave is a lot less annoying than using Chrome. Even it feels like it is having a more responsive UI than that of chrome. No ads on YouTube is pretty impressive feature of brave and saves a lot of time in the long run as compared to chrome where there are always ads in videos right off the start of video, most annoying part being the ads that load in the middle of videos.

Yeah, that's what we've just said.

We all agree about that.

And that's why that feature of theirs is what we're liking and even they give brave or not for those ads that we click, it doesn't matter as long as we get to enjoy using it.

[zonefloor]

I also use this browser, but my preference is always the chrome browser. Because it is very easy to use for me and most importantly, it does not tire the computer much. Apart from that, it is very easy in plugin management and accessibility. Apart from this, I do not want to turn to browser alternatives. By the way, I use brave, the room is completely due to the distribution of rewards.

one of the reasons I don't use brave browser is also because of this. brave browser blocks things too much, so it makes me feel uncomfortable. well, and the reason I want to try using it is because of the rewards it provides. however, until now, I have never tried again to use it. even when I install it on the PC I have, I might tend to use Chorme or edge because many add ons I need for SEO purposes.

[michellee]

That will depend on each user why they use Brave browser or use the other browser because we have a different experience using many browsers. I do not use the Brave browser and still use Chrome and Mozilla because I think the two browsers are comfortable. I do not think much about the BAT rewards when you use the Brave browser because I think the reward will not be too big even if we use the Brave browser all day long. So it will be back to how the user will experience from their browser.

[martina14]

Before, I also downloaded this browser(BRAVE), but my firewall protections in the long run gave me a malware malicious about this browser.
Aside from that, the running of my pc got slow as well. After that happened, I decided to deleted never to use it anymore, only, chrome, firefox and yandex browser are all good to me.

I switched to the Brave Browser a few months ago and so far i am pretty happy with it. I really like the ad-filter that is already implemented in it natively. That someone that you follow is not yet accepting tips via the brave browser is not really the fault of the browser itself in my opinion. You could contact that person to let him know about that feature of brave if you want to change that. I am from Germany and i get ads from the brave browser pretty regularly i have to say. So far i have made around 40 BAT with it, but i have not even looked at how i would cash them out or something because i mainly use brave because i like the browser.

[CrossroadBTC]

I was so obsessed with chrome browser on my android phone until I tried brave browser actually it's a better version of chrome I instantly fell in love with the browser, as for the BAT earning I don't even care about it I'm not using the browser to earn some BAT tokens

Maybe a little bit biased but I'm using Chrome as my main browser because as a web programmer I need developer tools to help me debug my application and Brave browser is nowhere close to Mozilla and Chrome in terms of usage of dev tools, Mozilla and Chrome are simply the best for that case. But, it's just up to you to earn something while browsing I guess.

That’s why everything is all about personal preferences, if something is working for you then you can choose that, but if it doesn’t fit what you’re really looking for, you can leave it to look for something that is. The same thing with me, I am also making use of the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, and very much satisfied with these two browsers‘cause they work perfectly for me.

The brave browser is quite good to an extent, but it doesn’t really work that well for me in some cases. So, that’s why I decided to leave it and continue making use of the other browsers that I have been using for longer now.

I agree with you that Chrome is the best browser to use. Perhaps I'm used to using this search engine, but I like it and its functions are clear. Sometimes I use Brave, Mozilla. And I don’t pay attention to incentives from using Brave because, firstly, these are unimportant amounts, and secondly, as mentioned above, it’s better to encourage content creators. But the browser itself is normal.

[yhiaali3]

I agree with you on everything you said and I also add my own reasons which is that the Brave browser does not support my country, Uphold Wallet is also blocking my country so I can’t get any profits, I don’t know how a browser that belongs to the crypto and decentralized world can ban many countries? The world of crypto and decentralization should be fair and open to all users in the world and not just specific countries. How does this agree with maintaining the privacy that the browser claims to offer as the most important feature? In addition to all this the profits that users get from these ads are paltry profits that are not worth anything and are not worth the trouble of trying.

I know adblock exists but I'm already okay with Brave browser. I'm not actually for the earning that it gives because it's very little and I'm not really into it, I'm into the browser alone.

It's about the preference of the browser you use. Since we're all users, we can use those different browsers from time to time and that's the best thing about it because we have a lot of choice.

[redwine49]

I do feel what do you feel about content creator.
How they build their own web and make a living if the income is too low? Furthermore everyone must have crypto wallet to recieve and send tip.
Which in reality most people come in cryptoworld and starting their own thing including creating a wallet for them, just to earn money

Now it's about "What if braver browser don't have future to grow like mozila&crome and be used a lot of people in the world?"
Your own worries will be resolved automatically if that is the future

[fullhdpixel]

I have always had this same thoughts, because none of those content creators are making use of the brave wallets or even knows that such thing exists, so how exactly would they be rewarded if you are to tip them making use of the brave browser? So, I’m guessing that none of those rewards gets to the content creators, and at the same time the browser also blocks the adverts that serves as a income generator for the content creators.


Although I do know that most of these websites can be really annoying with the way they display their adverts, and which is probably the reason that a lot of people would choose to be making use of the brave browser, but at least there should be a means for content creators to gain something from the content they create, Except when it’s being intrusive.
