Yesterday I promised to continue the article on Basic Attention Token (BAT). Here it is.
Today we will focus on linking the BAT currency and the Brave web browser.

Brave, a bold browser dedicated to protecting your privacy.
Brave is a powerful web-based opensource browser that has ranked in the top 10 in the free communications applications category. It protects your privacy and blocks unsolicited ads, but also cryptocurrency scripts. It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Brave makes blocking ads a lot faster than other browsers. For example, it releases major news sites like CNN or Time two to eight times faster than Chrome and Safari on mobile. On a laptop, it's twice as fast as Chrome. Brave is also about opensource, which means that anyone can look into the source code to see how the browser works and whether there are any iniquities in it that would compromise your privacy or Internet security. Using Brave is not only a way to protect your privacy but to be more secure when you are online. It's also a way to make money for advertisers, users, and publishers. His temporary weakness, however, is that he needs massive enlargement to become interesting to everyone. Brave has reached 4 million active users a month and expects to exceed 5 million by the end of the year.

Brave knows MetaMask, password management and more.
MetaMask is not just another Ethereum wallet, but a bridge that gives you access to distributed applications in your browser. You can run Ethereum Dapps (decentralized applications) directly in the browser without requiring a full Ethereum blockchain stored on your device. MetaMask also provides a user interface for managing your identities on different sites or signing blockchain transactions without compromising your privacy. With Brave, you can be up and running with MetaMask in just a few seconds. To get started, go to Preferences (CMD + on MacOS, Ctrl + on Windows) and open the Extensions tab. From there, enable MetaMask and wait for the download and installation process to complete. Once the extension is loaded, a new tab of the MetaMask page opens. Opening MetaMask for the first time will give you the option to create a new wallet or import it for a pre-existing account. Once your account is created, you can continue saving Etherea or start exploring Dapps. Brave will inform you if you continued on Dapps without MetaMask enabled.
The comprehensive security and protection of the Brave browser user includes extensive password management capabilities. The most famous and popular password managers include LastPass and 1Password, which help users with the right strong and robust passwords for each account on the Internet separately without having to remember those passwords.

Protect your privacy with Brave browser.
The traditional browser knows almost everything you do. He knows what pages you visit, how much time you spend on them, what you look at, what you are buying, even when you are in incognito mode. Brave enhances your privacy and security when you're online. It blocks trackers that stick to you every step of the way, watching what you do on the Internet, and then sending this data to private companies that then trade your data and use it for their benefit. This new beta feature now integrates TOR into the browser and provides users with a new browsing mode that helps protect their privacy not only on the device but over the network. With TOR private bookmarks you ensure that someone watching your internet connection (employer, café owner, your internet provider ...) cannot see which sites you are visiting. The site does not record your IP address or location. You can find out how much it is private and how to use TOR on their blog.

How does BAT work with Brave?
Brave integrates the Basic Attention Token (BAT) platform in the following ways:

• Brave payment. It is a program that allows users to support their favorite publishers and content creators. Today, there are over 20,000 (more than 5,300 sites and 14,600 YouTube and Twitch streamers).     
• Brave automatically calculates settlement shares based on the time spent on the site. With Brave payments you can also use BAT to support your favorite publisher, blogger, streamer or Youtuber. Just upload BATs in your settings (payments), set a budget and that's it!    
• Ads. The goal is for users who opt in to the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ads to receive a revenue share for the ads they see. The interest in ads is also appreciated with these ads. Users will receive 70% of ad revenue for their impressions.

Get paid for Twitter and Reddit posts?
Brave is sending payments to website owners, YouTube stars, and Twitch streamers today. Now he plans to extend the system to people who post on Twitter and Reddit. But only when users actively decide that your posts are worth something. This may pay off in the future if you have a decent base of followers. All this will be based on the betting model - the user likes the tweet and can give a tip for splitting the BAT and can send the BAT itself to the tweeter. Reddit will work on a similar mechanism. The recipient of the BAT tokens can then exchange them for bitcoins or any other cryptocurrencies or derivatives of FIAT currencies, respectively. through bitcoins and online stock exchanges like Bitstamp for real money and have them sent to your bank account.

Why should we be interested in the Basic Attention Token (BAT)?
The multi-billion digital advertising industry is in crisis. User privacy becomes a victim in an ever-growing ad space that relies on user tracking and profiling. Publishers and content creators are cut off by users who activate Adblock in response to spam violations. Advertisers are looking to find solutions that comply with the new ePrivacy / GDPR regulations.
The Basic Attention Token (BAT) team intends to grow beyond the Brave browser. We expect the platform to be extended to other web browsers, chat rooms, messages, games and other applications. Work on extending the Brave browser platform will take place in the next phase of Apollo, according to the roadmap for this year. Larger Youtube players are already involved, such as Bart Baker with 10 million subscribers and Philip DeFranco with 6 million subscribers. Brave is proud to connect with many great companies, from Uphold for Brave payments to Dow Jones Media Group, which recently partnered with Brave to test the platform and the BAT token. Other partnerships have been created with highly profiled websites such as the Guardian, Washington Post and Vimeo, including support for Brave.
