Instead of having ad companies track our every move and drive us batty, Brave is simply paying us for your time.īrave is available as a desktop and mobile browser, on Google Play and the iOS App Store. But let's applaud the company for trying something radically different. This tiny Silicon Valley startup is competing with giants like Google, Microsoft and Apple in the Browser Wars. The odds of Brave succeeding with this is are low. "It's a brand new program, and it's early days." "We're not talking thousands of dollars," says Brave's Catherine Corre.
On Twitter, users have posted about bringing in as little as 37 cents to as much as $15. The advertisers send 70% of the revenues to us, and Brave holds onto 30%. The idea is that you agree to look at ads from sites you like and thus get rewarded. If Amazon is advertising something on its website, Brave lets that through.īrave will reward you and I for looking at one to five ads per hour via its browser. So it blocks "third party" ads, the ones that come from ad exchanges and follow you around the Web, say, from Amazon to Facebook to CNET, but will allow "first party" ads.

The browser connects you to the Google search engine, YouTube, Maps and other cash machines from the Google empire.īrave has a different idea. And they won't pay you to watch what Brave hopes are less evasive ads.Ĭhrome is the windows to the Internet from Google, which makes its money by selling targeted ads. In just three hours of using it, Brave told me that 10 trackers had been blocked, along with 887 ads.Īpple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox also claim to be vigilant in terms of blocking trackers and ads, but they're not as vocal as Brave is in showing you the results. I downloaded the alternative Brave browser Friday, which is aimed at those of us who aren't cool with having our privacy invaded.
