Brave Browser has a crypto rewards program which pays $5 to $10 a month in BAT (basic attention token).

https://brave.com/

Their browser is open source with an emphasis on out-of-the-box adblock, greater speed, privacy and security.

Its rewards program is a small advertisement that opens on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Its a purely text based ad similar to google ads. Example:

I switched to using brave after reports emerged about google chrome not being reliable in terms of security. There have been many bugs and vulnerabilities which chrome devs strangely never got around to fixing.

Don't know much about BAT token. I would +merit for any useless tips or tricks anyone could share with BAT.

This type of innovative support for crypto in brave's rewards program could be a solid platform that could help to further mass adoption.

It doesn't deviate from what people normally do online with a browser and some of the ads are interesting and worth clicking.

I have been using Brave for a better part of this year, and I'm quite satisfied. I don't live in a region that supports their ad program as of yet, so I haven't had the chance to test it for myself, but the browser itself is better than Chrome, imo. It seems faster, and all Chrome plugins work just as well as they do in Chrome, so I don't see any downsides. There were some issues in the past, although updates seem to have fixed them along the way. As for BAT, it can be used for tipping on Twitter and maybe Reddit, and I think that the devs are planning to introduce tipping on other social media. Plus, you can tip individual creators on many other platforms, or even entire websites. Brave was also known to gift a few dollars worth of BAT to users, although I haven't seen them do that in a while now. Other than that, I am not a BAT user, although the opportunity to get it by watching ads is something I would be willing to do, once it becomes an option in my region.
