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.

Even there's no reward for BAT.

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?

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.

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.
