Forged by the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of the Mozilla Project, Brendan Eich (who was also responsible for Firefox), Brave’s primary goal is to redefine how we think about browsing the web, by blocking websites from tracking you, and rewarding you with cold, hard crypto for watching ads instead. Apple’s Safari comes in a distant second, with 19%, while Mozilla’s Firefox brings up the rear at 4%.īrave, however, reckons that its focus on user privacy sets it apart from the competition. Google Chrome, the market leader, has gobbled up nearly two-thirds of the global market share. Launching a new browser into the current marketplace might seem like a fool’s errand for Brave. What is Brave Browser?īrave Browser is a privacy-first, crypto-powered browser that blocks websites from tracking you by default. Now there’s a (relatively) new kid on the block, and it’s powered by crypto: Brave Browser. In the face of its slow, buggy, and downright unpleasant interface, the arrival of alternative browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome was an absolute godsend. BAT is up 12.4%, is changing hands at $0.32 and retains a market capitalization of $411 million (31st spot in the rankings).Do you remember the dark days of Internet Explorer? We do.

Perhaps helped by this news, BAT is one of the few coins in the crypto top 100 that has gained value during the last 24 hours. However, this functionality is not supported for all users and moving BAT from the browser’s wallet is not yet an option. The browser also rewards users for watching advertisements on an opt-in basis (by default, Brave attempts to block all advertisements). Brave can also automatically distribute BAT tokens according to how much time a user spends on different websites. In addition, users can tip websites that participate in the Brave Rewards program. Within the next three weeks, we can expect the feature to go live on a beta version of Reddit, before it is deployed for normal use.īrave already offers tipping functionality for the Twitter, YouTube and Twitch platforms. The cryptocurrency of choice is of course, which has a built-in wallet in the Brave web browser.Īccording to the publication, the effort is being led by Brave’s own developers, and the functionality will only be available to Brave users.

Crypto media outlet Decrypt reports that users of the ad-blocking web browser Brave will soon be able to send cryptocurrency tips to reward posters and content producers on Reddit.
