Brave claims to be focused on privacy. But they don't give you BATs if you don't register with UNHOLD.

Wolves dressed in sheep's clothing.

Explain that or stop saying they focus on privacy.


Last time I checked, the KYC is for uphold not brave. And it's probably this way to avoid leeching from people installing brave on a shit ton of computers, tablets and phones just to get free BAT and then sell them for BTC. Nobody is forcing you to KYC.

If you really like BRAVE and want some BAT you can always get some from an exchange without doing a KYC! There are plenty you can choose from. But of course that would require you to actually pay some money Wink But judging from your post, I bet you are only interested in getting some coins for free and leeching from the project so I doubt that would interest you.

Sure. But there are many other browsers that are better than Brave. Brave's advantage is that it allows you to earn. However, these are very small amounts so far. It's up to you whether you want give your details and ID for dust.

No, brave's advantage is not that it allows you to earn-to-surf. That's just one (of the many) nice perks, but you have probably focused on the get-paid-to-surf model due to your personal bias. Allow me to quote the official website:

You deserve a better Internet.
So we reimagined what a browser should be.
It begins with giving you back power. Get unmatched speed, security and privacy by blocking trackers. Earn rewards by opting into our privacy-respecting ads and help give publishers back their fair share of Internet revenue.

As you can see they don't say anywhere that their main advantage is that it allows you to earn for surfing.

As for if there other browsers better than Brave, again that's your opinion. IMO, when it comes to privacy and speed, Brave gives at the moment the best out-of-the-box experience and it's my go to browser when I am at home. Unfortunately, it has some small compatibility issues and I can't use it at my work which requires the use of certain plug ins that atm don't work properly with it. But when it comes to everyday casual use... nothing beats it. I doubt I will persuade you as you only seem to care about making money so just go use Chrome or..edge...LOL

To be honest, I didn't realize that Brave could be better than Chrome ... Ok. It is possible that I am a noob in these matters. Until now I have only looked at Brave in terms of earning. However, you convinced me that there is something more. I will install and test a few days. Thank you.
As far as I know, the KYC is necessary for withdrawing the profits from Uphold and using the Brave browser without rewards program doesn't make it unique compared to the alternative chromium based browsers. Chrome is directly linked to the Google account but the Brave doesn't have such synchronize options. Instead of Google account, they have their synch code inside the browser and their main search engine is duckduckgo.
