Be Brave and Protect Your Privacy
Everyone hates ads and lately, everyone is concerned about their privacy. Why would anyone want to give away their data for big companies to sell them and make money? It doesn't make any sense.
Mainstream browsers are tracking your every move collecting information about you and your habits online because they're built that way. They're making money off you without you even noticing.
It's sad but luckily there are ways to prevent it. One of them is Brave browser.
About Brave
Brave was created back in 2015th by Brendan Eich (the creator of JavaScript and the co-founder of Mozilla) and Brian Bondy (previously worked at Khan Academy, Mozilla, and Evernote). Their aim was to give back the power to you, the ordinary user, and they did succeed with it.
In 2019th Brave came out of the beta stage and released Brave 1.0 version for all major platforms - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Linux. Now they have more than 10 million active monthly users and they're growing with each passing day. Look at the chart below to see it for yourself.
Why Choose Brave?
Not only does Brave protect your privacy and blocks ads you don't want to see, it also rewards its users with BAT (Basic Attention Token). In addition to that - Brave is 3 to 6 times faster than other browsers which can save you a lot of time.
Privacy and Data Protection
As a user, access to your web activity and data is sold to the highest bidder. Internet giants grow rich, while publishers go out of business. And the entire system is rife with ad fraud.
The vast bulk of websites and ads include software that tries to identify you. They want to track your every move across the web. Brave blocks all this, allowing you to browse freely.
When you open Brave, you can see your personal statistics
Speed
As you can see in the image below, Brave is the fastest browser from those in comparison. Brave loads major webpages 3 to 6 times faster than Chrome or Mozilla. It's a result of blocking unwanted scripts, ads, and trackers from any webpage you're browsing.
By blocking unwanted scripts and trackers, Brave is much faster than other browsers
Rewards
Instead of showing you privacy-violating ads you don't want to see, Brave offers you to watch their ads and receive BAT tokens as a reward. As you can see in the gif below - it's your choice if you want to see those ads or if you want to experience an ad-free internet.
You can also opt-out of it and experience ad-free internet.
Right now Brave Ads work in 68 countries but soon they will add 177 more counties to their ad system. See the list here if you're interested to know if your country is there.
Here's how BAT looks at CoinMarketCap.
Tips
Brave offers you to tip your favorite content-creators with BAT token. You can also register as a content creator to allow someone else to tip you.
You can become a Brave creator if you have an account on any of these platforms
Once you register as a content-creator on Brave rewards program, other users will be able to tip you when they're at your page. Here is a list of all websites that have registered as content creators. There are currently more than 45 000 of them, it means the program is working.
Open-source
Brave is an open-source browser which means everyone can see the code as it's available on GitHub where everyone can access the source code. It is proven that Brave doesn't have any backdoor in its code (it means they're not lying about your privacy).
It's also built on Chromium base which means it supports all Chrome extensions you might be using right now. It can also import your bookmarks from any browser you need.
