I posted this once before, or something similar to it anyway. I want to clarify that I’m not affiliated with Brave. I am just a fan. I can only WISH that I was around back when they gave out referral links. Anyway, here we go. The reason that #crypto has taken over my heart is because when you research some of the things these coins/tokens do, it is quite mind blowing. My go to example is $BAT #basicattentiontoken is the native #cryptocurrency of the #bravebrowser Brave.com offers a free web browser that has just made me fall in love with it. I wasn’t keen on the prospect of sacrificing $GOOG Chrome, but I was going to force myself into it just to earn. Turns out, you can’t even tell the difference as far as layouts go. Brave is identical to $GOOGL Chrome, at least appearance wise anyway. The real differences are what makes it the best web browser ever to exist. By default it has “shields” enabled that out perform anything I have seen. $MCFE $NLOK don’t even compare. Brave does this by default, without bogging down your PC, without subscriptions, & that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Unlike many of these big companies, Brave doesn’t track you & sell your information to places like $SNOW It will actually show you the time/bandwidth it saves you by blocking that kind of junk. Also, has a built in crypto wallet/swap. It isn’t as smooth as $COIN but it’s on par or better than most of the wallets out there. It is also a new feature so it is in its infancy. I’m excited to see what they do with it in time. A couple features that “normal” folks may enjoy: It had an “offline playlist” which lets you create a playlist of videos that you can access without internet connectivity. It also has “Brave Talk” built into the browser. This is comparable to $ZM . There are several little “nifty” features I enjoy. Things like it having a “make a QR code of this page” feature always available to you. It bypasses the need to utilize places that have monetized the service, require you to sign up, restrict everything, & just complicate the entire process. It’s also a pretty cool QR. I attached a screenshot below. t also has Brave Search but I confess that I use Presearch $PRE just because that allows me to earn tokens whenever I am searching. That brings me to the final point. The #BAT is earned by simply viewing advertisements. Think of how many ads you look at for free each day, and then imagine getting paid for each one of them. It actually makes it so that you are wanting ads to pop up. Add all of these things together into a fast, safe, and feature rich web browser, that offers privacy+earning and that is what has me sold on Brave/BAT. The majority of the features I’ve mentioned above were a part of recent updates. So, I am extremely excited to see what the future holds for these guys. Also, forgot to mention this. The Brave mobile app browser also saves 35% more battery 🔋power by having the same shields active.
