Wha?

I have no clue what is the profile of the average Gab user, but ..nazis? Seriously?

The brave browser already supports all the extensions and plugins of chromium Web Store so there is no point of making another Browser why not just request brave browser to do so.

The same reasons why bitcoin gold, bitcoin diamond, bitcoin platinum, bitcoin shit and bitcoin super craig shit exist...
Everyone wants their own browser/coin and they do this either for a moment of fame or in most cases because they smell a load of $ coming their way.

As we know brave browser is already a custom version of Chrome

It is actually based on Chromium, which is also the base for Chrome, small and big difference at the same time Grin

I thought Gab was made up almost entirely of Nazis and kiddy fiddlers?

It would take rather more than a dribble of lightning to use something that might be feeding everything I type and do back to people of that calibre. All the same this is exactly what LNs should be used for so it's going to be very interesting to see how it pans out. There's been a vast amount of lightning talk but not enough action.

You go first.

I can only welcome this, even if I'm not a big fan of the people who are behind Gab.
I'm personally not using Brave myself, I'm just too used to using Firefox, but a number of my friends have switched to Brave completely.

Doubt that I would switch to this fork of Brave, even though it would be kinda cool to use a browser that supports LN.

Brave will give users a 70 percent cut of its advertising revenue, which Eich estimates could work out to about $5 a month.

At 5$ a month, and that is most likely for US citizens or at least Western world I doubt many will take the offer since right now I would probably pay myself 5$ to not see all those annoying ads every time I browse around Grin

. I've never understood people that don't use adblocking add-ons
Besides, I wonder how long is going to take before they are overrun by bots: one, two days?

Actually, I've been using Brave for the past couple of days and I don't see the ads and don't have to click on anything. I still get paid though, about 1 BAT per day.

I am also getting to be a rabid fan of the Brave browser...it is good, faster and of course ad-free. Plus it has a rewarding system for its participants. The feel is actually more of Chrome though Brave is lighter in my experience. The only thing I hate before is that auto-correction is not a part of the browser...good thing there is actually an extension for the same purpose which I installed. I see a good future of Brave as long as they continue to innovate and listen to what their users are communicating to them.

how its work ?
you getting pay for using their browser only? and how many hour should we use the brave browser?
from some comment it said you need to complete kyc to get your reward? if true then not worth to try

I also used brave browser for a month. I followed steps correctly but I do not receive any amount yet. Though it needs kyc, it does not really a problem when you have thing to used to verify the account. Hope that there would be specific rate for those who used the browser for long hour.

Why don't they just request brave browser to do so, there is no point of making another whole Browser for Bitcoin rewards.

Its because brave browser has its own coin which was bat coin . they only see bitcoin and other cryptos as a rival but i dont like the idea of stealing someones code and then use it for their own good . your right , why they dont confront bat/brave about their idea making such browser with a reward feature ?

Quote from: jak3 on April 27, 2019, 11:51:37 AM

As we know brave browser is already a custom version of Chrome and now cab is making a custom version of brave Browser that makes no sense.

I didnt know that things but if that was true then thanks for that info . i think its legal to create or develop your own browser but as long as it isnt copyrighted to other existing browsers

The lighting part is nice to read but i wont see many people running fast to change there favorite browser. Maybe they made some tweaks and tunes that can pull them over but we have to see when it will be released.

Of course you don't expect the adverts and click baits to start pouring in now. It's too early and that will piss people off. But you don't expect them to run this charity without adverts for a long time, do you? Even Santa Claus will get wearied out doing that.

I even suspect they may bring in sundry charges and subtractions in the near future to make the reward given out a waste of time just like faucets are today.

Peace be with you!

Browsers that has those features are good but how about the security? If GAB will be rewarding users with Bitcoin I think more and more people will use it. Though not that important but still it is a nice feature nowadays. I usually use Chrome, Operamini, Firefox, UC, and CM browser and heard about the said Bitcoin rewarding browser just now. When it comes to add-ons Chrome is my choice of course due to it's metamask feature.

I'm so happy to hear about this. I tried Brave for a while. But I have decided that this is not a smooth browser for market conditions.

What device are you using if you don't mind saying? Brave has just been as smooth as Chrome on my Windows and Ubuntu device.

Quote from: Nadziratel on April 27, 2019, 07:34:32 AM

First of all it is not decentralized as it should be!

Gab isn't going to be decentralized either. Not to mention that browsers don't need to be decentralized in the first place, the world wide web should.

Gab is creating its own web browser using Brave’s open-source code replacing the BAT token with Bitcoin Lightning Network integration :

I always support a new and more logical browser. Useful like Brave and more decentralized browser would be very good.

A web browser that pays you in BTC is good but I have tried connecting my wallet with the brave browser and has never been successful. I hope this new innovation would have a simple and easy set up. To those who are thinking it's too small think again, does Google pay you browsing and with all those ads that keep popping up whiles we surf the internet, No!
This is good and I hope it becomes a big reality.

Yeah, I heard Brendan Eich is not too happy about Gap forking Brave, though Brave is open-source. I think a Lightning Network version of Brave is a great idea and perhaps the founder of Brave knows it's a potential competitor.

$5 a month will not do the trick. Electroneum tried it with their mobile crypto and it’s sad that it doesn’t work. I will gladly pay $5 per month to remove those ads. Most Americans and Europeans can earn that money within an hour of work and I think I will also fail. For me it’s better to play some online games to earn that bitcoin.

Sounds like th he Brave network had inspired another company to make a browser. Nice! I hope they pull it off, because it is always good to have an alternative of different browsers available. Competition forces the innovation to come out.

As said brave had inspired more people to go with the base plan. It is something new and a good level of competence will be there rather than an alternative. Both will focus on development, and with brave I got around 20 tokens and these can be tipped to users whom we find good in his/her contributions through some articles or other works where tipping services is integrated.

The only real issue I've had so far is that there seems to be a daily cap, a maximum of 21 ad notifications per day... which in itself might be reassuring.

Now I'm getting pissed about this. I've been stuck at 21 notifications for more than 24 hours and I know I'm not the only one.
None of the 10 mods they have on reddit is answering.
Why launch a release version if it still has bugs ?
