I’m using it now. It blocks ads, but shows you their ads as notification pop ups, which is very annoying. However, there is an option to switch them off, too.
This likely has to do with the Basic Attention Token that you can earn by using it, combined with increased cryptocurrency visibility and viability.
Brave is just out of this world when it comes to ad-garbage heavy sites, like pretty much most news sites these days. Even when Unicorn stumbles, loading same page in Brave cleans all the garbage out like magic, product is just so freaking good.
I am still not understanding what Brave offers users that Firefox does not. Would someone care to fill me in? Discarding for the moment the notion of paying people to look at advertising - which strikes me as a step backwards for society, what privacy-related reasons are there to use Brave over Firefox?
I like using Brave on my aging “gaming” computer. Takes up less resources. Wonderful stuff.
