The Brave Browser is a browser that has a lot of similarities to Google Chrome. It uses the Chrome store for it's add-ons and is compatible with most of the available add-ons in the store. The best thing about the Brave Browser is that Brave is focused on user privacy unlike Google Chrome. The browser is default privacy focused. It comes with a default adblocker as well as location and cookies turned off.
Brave is also a cryptocurrency focused browser. You can opt-in to view Brave ads and receive BAT tokens for doing so. BAT or Basic Attention Tokens are ERC-20 tokens so they can be used on the Ethereum blockchain. Every month, you receive a payout of BAT tokens from the browser for viewing their ads. Brave also allows you to tip websites and creators who have verified creator accounts with Brave. This way, the creators get paid out despite the user having ad-block on.
A user of the Brave browser that wants to accrue BAT tokens by viewing ads can get paid out in a verified Gemini or Uphold account. However, this is only available for members in 19 countries around the world. If you are not in one of the available to countries, you can possibly create a creator account and tip yourself if you have a website, Youtube channel, Twitch channel, etc. You will lose some BAT tokens doing this, but you will receive most of them.
If you have an Uphold account, you can buy gift cards with your BAT tokens, play a wheel spin game, and enter a sweepstakes to win prizes on mytaprewards.com. The wheel spin game charges .65 BAT to use but you get one free spin per day. Brave also has it's own cryptocurrency wallet that an individual can use to store their crypto and have more control over it because you own your own keys. They also have their own search engine so you never need to use Google.
Brave is an excellent browser that I have been using for over a year now and I have enjoyed accruing BAT tokens monthly. It is my default desktop browser and I enjoy the ads since they are mainly geared towards crypto related companies and projects. I also enjoy being in control of my own privacy while I am on the internet.
