Can you share a bit more about your bad experience with brave browser?

I use a browser exclusively to crypto related stuff, and for now it is brave. I am thinking about moving to Edge due to loading times and performance overall. I didn't know that brave could have security issues, but I wouldn't doubt it. Brave is a very small project which gained a lot of visibility due to BAT (which is a great idea btw, but poorly executed).

Imo, BAT could just be a browser add-on that reward users in BTC without any KYC.

I installed for the first time and I didn't use it much. One month after installation, I registered on one gambling website to make an investment using Brave browser with the thought that it is safe, and it is clean because it is freshly installed and unused. I didn't get to activate 2FA on the casino account, and after a few days, someone closes my investment and withdraw funds. In logs, there is only access from my IP address, also from the casino side (as his support says). None of my other accounts, email addresses (related to many exchange accounts, Bitcointalk account ...), wallets etc... was touched except this from Brave browser (mostly preserved user and pass in browser).
so only Brave browser is compromised. I tested a few days, many things with many tools and I haven't find anything suspicious.
btw I opened a new account on the same casino, and make a new investment, of course out of Brave, and everything is normal and without security problems.

About his rewards, if you research, you will see them being accused of using affiliate links there, like AAX exchange. ??

I didn't take my rewards in them, I haven't applied but I've heard that they're asking for KYC. The rewards are not that high.

Common man,be practical why not just apply for KYC so at least you are gaining since you are using brave already?dont care how low it is because at least it is money for free.

That's not practical.

It's not even reaching $10 so why do I have to take KYC for that amount? no such amount is going to take me with for the KYC. I don't think that it's wise enough for me to do it, I'm enjoying the browser so, no problem with that.

I use it in the last few months, and I must say that this browser is more than suspicious to me. I suffered some damage which after some investigation could only come from Brave browser. They have a big red flag from me.

I have been using the brave browser for several months and so far I have only collected 2.5 BAT which for today is 77 cents! At this rate, I collect 8-10 tokens per year. I believe that my personal data is definitely more valuable than $ 3 a year. So if someone does not want to use this wallet for other cryptocurrencies, the reward they give for our personal data is definitely too small.

I don't know which countries get more BATs, but I know from experience that US users receive at least 10x more than Brazil users.

Probably due to regulations or becaues there are less Brazilian websites registered in brave services?

as far as I understood different rewards for different countries politics is related to the percentage of people who use any online payments method. So, places where there is not so much culture of shopping online they are not interesting for many promotions. I don't just mean here on Brave, I know many other online ads services which have different priorities and countries separate as a 1st class and 3rd world States. it’s a little rough, isn’t it?
although they must be admitted to be right why would promote somewhere, where no one spends money.

About Brave browser, I heard many nice things about them. I use it in the last few months, and I must say that this browser is more than suspicious to me. I suffered some damage which after some investigation could only come from Brave browser. They have a big red flag from me.

The money is not free.you are selling your data and receiving a few cents for it.

If you are ok with that... but it is not free money.

Additionally, you're watching ads to get those cents and give your docs
Bad deal if you ask me

You need to do KYC to receive them.

If that is not a problem to you... The amount of rewards also depend on which country you live in. In my country, the rewards are ridiculously low (like cents per month)

I agree, the rewards is very small. But if nothing else, just let it accumulate and don't see it as a potential earner for you. I have been using this brave for so many months but got few cents only. Or maybe I'm not really keen in using it. So if you decide to use it, don't expect that you can earn a decent income because you can't. Treat it as earning dust of satoshis from faucets and just forget that you are earning something while using their network. You may want to check this article also.

Actually for me?it doesnt matter how low the reward is because as far as i know it is only incentives for us using Brave browser things that Mozilla or chrome can’t give so at least we can consider it as passive income and just let it sit for years because no matter what we will still use the browser so just leave it there.

The amount depends on the country, or the value?

Here is the complete information about brave rewards https://brave.com/brave-rewards/.

Yes there are country which is paid higher than other country one of the example is USA.

Quote from: bitmover on August 16, 2020, 09:50:23 PM

Probably due to regulations or becaues there are less Brazilian websites registered in brave services?

The main reasons is there are more campaign available in that country that's why they get more rewards.

As others already mentioned the reward is so low that it's not worth your time and the fact that it requires KYC to get your rewards doesn't help it either.

I think the second use for their token which is for tipping websites that are being useful to you is a better way of spending you gained Brave rewards if you are already using Brave browser but then again many websites does not support Brave rewards as far as I know, over all in my opinion they could have been way more successful if they did not require KYC for claiming rewards or at least more websites(specially smaller lesser known websites that probably need it more) supported them as a form of getting support from their visitors.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

As far as I have seen some bounty hunters and dust collectors are willing to give away all their KYC details to every company in the world for a few worthless shitcoins. The developers of this browser know this and even if they say that they dont store the data of users while they browse,, eventually they came up with this coin reward system that asks for your KYC. Can you even keep any little of trust in them anymore? Nope.

It shows how twisted their words are and that you cant really stop their data collection methods by just moving on from Chrome or Firefox to Brave and think, oh yeah all my data safe now.

No. You just changed the person whom you are giving your data to.

However one must remember that identity theft carries a huge risk and giving your KYC thus carries a risk. Would you be willing to do that or be happy with what you already have and consider investing more in bitcoin than shitcoins?

It wont really be worth and i have this browser few months ago before i did uninstall due to some issues or controversy https://cointelegraph.com/news/brave-comes-under-fire-for-binance-affiliate-link-autofill

back on topic about those rewards, its just really a dust even how hard you do make use of this browser.Ive set 5 ads per hour which is maximum but i do still get some peanuts.

The worst thing of all? you do need to go under KYC for you to get those.

If you use them, that serves as an incentive. And lately, I'm still using them but very few ads are popping on mine so that's why I don't care about the rewards but, I like the browser itself.

Havent tried that browser but looking at the comments its a good browser where you can earn tokens by using the browser for browsing sites and others. I want to earn too using that browser.

It works for me: banners are not intrusive at all, and you can make like $8/month easily just for doing the same thing you were already doing on your old browser.

In a year, it will be worth $100 (+altseason multiplier, +imagine brave becomes mainstream) which is not a bad deal for doing basically nothing apart from a few clicks.

For some who wants big reward its not worth but for those who needs extra income even how many months it will take its worth it, been using brave for 3 months and luckily i made 10 usd.

I tried it not really worth it if you will only earn BAT base on the ads of brave browser they only give small amount of BAT monthly for user's . But if there are many people that will support your website or channel then it's a good alternative income to earn free money by people supporting your channel.

To have idea this what I earn so far from ads

I have not tried brave rewards anymore because the rewards are very small in my opinion, and it's better to look for legitimate airdrops, but it's also up to you, but indeed most of the rewards are already small, including in my country.

Not such a big start at launch.
