Description This is getting a little silly now, guys. I appreciate the privacy benefits of Brave, but I don't really want to play whack-a-mole with Brave's forceful corporate advert...
I’ve been using Brave for a while, so if anyone has any questions about it, I’d love to answer them.
This is an accurate description of it, but Brave also allows you to earn money. Brave blocks all normal advertisements by default. It then instead sends you a push notification style advertisement in the bottom right of your screen that you can click away in a second. You get paid for this advertisement whether you click it or not because why the hell shouldn’t you get paid for viewing advertisements, and other companies get it instead? I’m the one viewing it.
That aside, I download Brave on all of my devices and created/connected an Uphold wallet in March and got my first payout in February. I’m sitting at $27.61 CAD today for just clicking away the occasional advertisement - again not even looking at it.
I think this is the main thing with Brave. If I am getting this much money in less than a year from nothing at all, imagine what advertising companies are getting when you don’t get a cut of the profit yourself and they’re milking millions.
The goal of brave was supposed to be that you get money for watching the brave ads, which normally gets given to the websites you use the most.
To was supposed to break the parasitic targeted advertising ecosystem and give users control of where their ad money goes.
It would also lets you automatically donate an amount per month to the websites you use most.
Is this not true or does it not work?
Your description is actually right, but not as efficient as they told it would be. Put it all aside and it still a very good browser.

I liked the idea at first. But when i downloaded it, it wouldn’t let me donate my own money to websites without giving my real identity.
So I noped out.
