Without any ads or rewards it is still a superior browser to chrome. You retards focus on the wrong thing, nobody care about getting 10$ per year, unless he lives in a village in India.

What is great with this browser is that it is built with blockchain and decentralization in mind they're about to integrate an ethereum wallet compatible with ledger or trezor, they use cryptography to synchronize your data across devices instead of relying on google goodwill to protect your privacy, and yes it is faster than google chrome since they block all the trackers. I can see the difference in speed, it is obvious.

If you're someone like me who spends 5 days of the week at home on the internet doing nothing, it's a pretty good source of free bitcoin. If I get like 1-2 ads an hour (about 2.4 BAT daily, or 624 BAT a year), once you're able to transfer your BAT to an exchange, you can swap for bitcoin (0.01 BTC a year as of prices right now, or 0.025 BTC yearly once it goes back down to 4k). All you need to do is click on a notification when it pops up. Literally takes 5 seconds.

Brave doesn't identify itself in the user agent, it has the same user agent as chrome.

>> No.15286712

>>15286669
first thing I get when googling "Brave User Agent" is an article on how to find out if a user uses brave, not sure they still work, but if there are ways in the hands of interested parties they wouldn't spill it

If identifying that the user uses Brave is not a valid vector of attack, regardless, using crypto-specific tools places you in a group more likely to be attacked. That's why I won't budge from firefox anytime soon.

If you're goal is just to hide your traffic to your ISP you don't need to be extra careful, a basic tor implementation like this one is good.

There is no possible way to run a profitable ads business if you don't offer to advertisers the guarantee that their ads won't be associated to 'bad' contents. It doesn't matter if the advertising side of Brave is not neutral or decentralized, it was never expected to be, as it would be stupid to expect Google adsense to not ban any website. These websites will have other totally decentralized user friendly options to receive payments in the future, such as extensions that allow to easily donate in directly in ethereum.
It is still a great browser for other reasons totally independent from their reward system. For example the tor option, and the integrated ethereum wallet (soon to launch) are things that are missing in Chrome.

The funny thing is that BAT is actually the first true bitcoin on-ramp. If (((they))) start to take away all money on-ramps because BAT basically pays user for labor, its basically like PoW but with actual work the user is being paid for.

People fish for (You)'s as well. Even though this is an anonymous board you still get sad pathetic losers trying to fit in by spamming "NIGGER KIKE" with every other post. 4chan has literally always been that way.

Reddit is a visible, cringeworthy popularity contest where people self-censor for visibility and stay inside the lines in order for the privilege of not getting banned.

You're kidding yourself if you think 4chan doesn't have some of the same qualities. There's probably an 80% overlap of users at this point. Even back in the day people would post Boxxy threads or the latest FOREVER ALONE memes on /b/ because they knew they'd get 100 replies to their threads.

Adding an anonymous, non-visible cryptocurrency aspect to /biz/ would change things, sure, but it'd make things better. And it wouldn't be anymore Reddit than this dogshit board already is.

the thing that dumb BATties don't understand is that whatever Brave does, Google can implement it in 2 seconds, and completely crush Brave.

Brave is just chromium under the hood. They can never compete with Google. As soon as they do something right, Google can just implement it in chrome, it is their own browser after all.
