Thinking of switching to the brave browser cause why not ?
What are some reasons not to ?
How much money can I expect after using it for a year with ads (Probably peanuts but anything over $50 seems worth it)?

Don't use it to 'make money'.
Unless you run a website or other platform you can run refferal links on or are that popular people are willing to tip you you will barely make cents.

I use it because it's a genuinely good browser and because I set up all my devices and those of my girlfriend and mother to use Brave through my referral code. So every other month I delete Brave from their devices and click my own referral again. Seems to work for now.

It tends to follow BTC around. Though you could argue that since it's based around a project that people actually like to use, and do use, increasingly so, it has more staying power.

Its an ok browser in that it has decent defaults and decent privacy. Though its entire crypto premise is a sham in that it relies on a third party that requires passport/id etc to withdraw. If anyone decent were to ever challenge them on their concept they would lose quickly.

It's the exact same thing as using Chrome except it has more security features in it. 8 months over a year is 88 dollars which can pay for a phone bill, a video game and some dlc, a bunch of pizzas, food, etc... It's just getting paid to do what you did before. Frugal or not why would you object to free money, it's not like you're losing an opportunity cost

Worth it.

I get like 10$ a month on desktop and 5$ a month on my phone.

It's a legitimate project. I trust Brendon Eich he was CEO of firefox and did Netscape before that. Dude knows his shit, has a trust worthy reputation and he hates fags.

Imho idk why Brave isn't already the default browser for 4chan users.

It adds up to actual money that you can Uniswap into Ethereum or just redeem for Amazon gift cards.

Ya I believe you. The reddit support forums are full of random bugs.

I looked at their git and it's full of pull requests. Looks like they are constantly fixing things but it's still not quite 100% reliable.

Works for me at least though

The question was "Is BAT a stable coin." A stable coin doesn't change value, its use case is based around not changing value as other cryptos do. So no it is not a stable coin.

I said don't use it to 'make money' on ads alone, but if you have a website or scam referrals you can make a few bucks.

Well that’s that I guess. Been using it a week and want to like it but always felt it was a sham. Says it’s saved me so many minutes but theres times it takes forever to load ti the point where Ill open up another browser and page will load faster. I know for a fact it’s costing me minutes versus saving me minutes. Also, the BAT withdraw method is kind of gay. Would have been easier to be able to send have it send you BAT from their wallet to yours versus signing up for exchange

Lol ya Brendon Eich got a lot of shit from SJW's because someone found out he donated to a anti gay marriage campaign.

It pretty much was such a big deal he had to step down from running Firfox.

I think that is bullshit. He did a great job and his political disposition is none of anyone's business.

His revenge will be brave browser. We should pump it like we pumped trump just to get back at the SJW jews
