My experience using Brave Browser for a week, part 3

We come to the last part of this review of the browser that protects your privacy, Brave Browser. Dedicating this last article to what is, without a doubt, its most outstanding feature: Brave Rewards. So I'll tell you about my experience using Brave Rewards, and my opinion about the program

The benefits of Brave

As we have already said on many occasions, Brave Browser tries to create a different business model from the one that all Internet browsers have followed until now. Not only by not storing the data of its users, but also by sharing the benefits of your browsing with them.

Thus, when you download Brave Browser, you are presented with two options. The first is to navigate normally, without having to see any type of advertising.

The second option is to join Rewards, the program through which you can choose to see a certain number of ads every hour. In return, Brave will give you 70% of what it receives for each ad in BAT, the browser's cryptocurrency

So that we can store these tokens, Brave provides all its users with a wallet incorporated into the browser, where all the tokens that you collect will go. In my experience using Brave Rewards, I must say that the configuration of the advertising that you will see is quite simple. Being able to choose to display 1 to 5 ads per hour, which will be shown to you in the least invasive way possible

This is perhaps the main problem when using Brave Rewards. And is that, having a limit of visualization of ads per hour of only 5 ads, Rewards does not turn out to be a very efficient way to earn money.

Taking just 5 cents after a week of use. Of course, considering that most of the time I did not even notice the presence of the ads, I can say that although it is not a great contribution to my income, it is not something that bothers to have activated.

Contribute to the sites you browse

Another way to use Brave Rewards is to reward the creators of the content you consume while browsing the Internet. Thus, each month Brave will contribute a certain amount of BAT for the creators affiliated to its program, according to the amount of time that browser users spent viewing its content

This would be an alternative means of income in potential, for the users who dedicate their time to create the contents that we see daily in Internet. Receiving your payment, like us for the ads we see when browsing, on a monthly basis.

Of course, the great limitation to the scope of this project is the so far reduced number of web pages affiliated with Brave Rewards. Which prevents the benefits from being as extensive as they could be. Depending, therefore, on the success of the project, on the massification of the browser.

Will I stick with Brave Browser?

After a week of using Brave Browser as my main browser, I must accept that I have become fond of the lion. If the fact that my data is not stored by anyone other than myself is not attractive enough to stay in Brave, what undoubtedly convinces me is the effectiveness with which it combats unwanted advertising.

And it is that, surfing the Internet without worrying that even an ad may appear that bothers me, is a change to the way I was used to living the Internet.

If we also combine this feature with the private browsing, personalization options, and the potential of Brave Rewards, I must say that my experience using Brave has been quite satisfactory. Which is why, at least for the near future, I will continue to use this as my main browser .
