You already use a browser, so why not earn cryptocurrency from it too? Here's how to do so with the Brave browser.

As a Brave browser user, you can earn revenue in the form of BAT (Basic Attention Token) by simply opting to view ads. BAT is Brave’s own cryptocurrency, and a user can earn it when they opt to view anonymous and privacy-preserving ads.

This service is totally optional, and the ads are presented to the users in the form of push notifications instead of on-page display. BAT earned this way are stores in a wallet built into the browser, and can be traded for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currency.
