I'm the only one wondering why that should be a (good) news?

I mean: are the user rewarded for the attention (the logic behind BAT) or it's just another search engine with another search ads ?

Mine is an honest question, not a complaining.

An indenpendent search engine that doesn't track you seems like a good thing to me. Remember, half the nastiness of modern ads is that they track you and are also pretty heavy. In a search engine it's much easier to get the targeting from your search query without tracking you - something eg. DuckDuckGo also does. Helps keep the lights on.

Been using Brave Android since 2017, have never used BAT or whatever "value-add" bloatware they've offered. It can be disabled from the menu, two taps max.
