skyfire Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think if the duckduckgo becomes more powerful it would be much less to worry about the privacy part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Yes brave is a browser. and the thing is that it is making use of reduced HTTP calls from the ad networks as a benefit and it can make use of any search engine in it's engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I tried brave in the past mined up to $3, but they vehemently sent my funds to third party, which I didn't know how i authorized that. Such behavior made me deleting the app. I make use of Bing and Google as first and second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had around 20 USD worth of the BAT too. But eventually I gave up on it. And it seems like BAT is getting harder to hold too as they lose the market value.

Head_Hunter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 BAT was close to a dollar late 2020 when I was following the coin, I don't know it's value at the moment. Later on, I'm going to check CMC if it improved or dipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Even if I'm mining 20 BATS daily from brave browser I wouldn't consider going back, they made me to abandon using their browser by throwing my earnings to anonymous company without my permission.

Heatman Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I have come to realize that Google limit one's search results for reasons best known to them and it's why I fancy Duckduckgo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they limit... it's more of reading your bank account type approch. they read your search history and use it for their own benefit.

Yes but not for all. it is kind of hit and miss program. where not all people see the ads and get BAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's horrible indeed, most users don't like the KYC, but when you need it at utmost best, you'll go through KYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
