Get privacy and $$ while browsing the web.

What is Brave Browser?

Brave browser (personal promo code) was released in 2016, focussing on user security and privacy. But it’s not a one-trick pony. It also had a payment mechanism wherein sites and users will be paid in BAT token, a crypto token. CEO Brendan Eich was the creator of Javascript and was the former CEO of the Mozilla foundation.

Benefits of Brave:

  • Security and Privacy: Brave removes website tracking by default. You no longer have to worry about sites tracking you even after you left their place.
  • Fast: Brave is much faster in loading your web pages.
  • Ads: Brave does not store browsing data on their servers. This is revolutionary and completely different to what Google does. Since your browsing history is not stored on servers, ads cannot be tailored to your viewing history. Instead, the user has the option to let Brave know what kind of ads they would like to be shown.
  • Pays Users: If you use Brave, you will be paid in BAT tokens on 5the th of every month. It’s easy to convert this to gift cards or cash.
  • Built-In Firewall + VPN: Brave just introduced a new premium feature for iOS. For folks with iPhones, you can now browse inthe ternet without worrying about exposing your IP address. It is available for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year.

Where can you use Brave Browser:

Brave is currently available on all desktop/mobile OS.

Desktop Downloads: here (personal promo code)
iOS/Android: App store/Google play

Earn BAT tokens:

After Brave browser is installed, navigate to Brave Rewards in Settings and enable Brave Rewards.

You can also decide on the number of ads you want to be displayed per hour. Min is 1 and max is 5.

BAT tokens to $$:

Once you have saved a decent amount of BAT, you have the option of converting them to gift cards here. You will need to perform the intermediate step of creating an Uphold wallet and providing them with your verification details.

If you prefer to convert them into cash, you will still need to create Uphold Wallet and complete verification. You can then move your BAT tokens to Uphold wallet. From there, you can move them to any crypto exchange such as Coinbase, Binance or Kraken and trade it for cash.

P.S: Given the growth potential of Brave and BAT token, I recommend holding on to the tokens and selling only when the price has shot up. The current price of BAT is ~ 36 cents in USD.

Growth Rate of Brave Browser:

Brave has been growing at a steady clip from the time of creation. As of June 2020, Brave had 15 million monthly active users and 5 million daily active users.

Conclusion:

Brave browser (personal promo code) has proven so far to be an advocate of users privacy and security. If the company continues to do so, its future and legacy will be secure.
