According to Brave CEO and co-founder Brendan Eich “Brave is on a mission to upgrade the Internet from surveillance-by-default to privacy-by-default”. Many people have begun to move away from the likes of Google Chrome, Opera and Microsoft Edge due to the fact that they collect a lot of data on their users and don’t offer many options for privacy.īrave uses a number of techniques to block trackers, cookies, fingerprinting attempts on your device and use of your computers sensors.
This is not financial advice.Brave is a free and open-source privacy centred browser used for surfing the web securely. That BAT price fluctuates is also expected, however, it is never at zero and users receive the BAT risk-free. It being a “hoax” either implies that the users never receive BAT in the first place or that BAT can’t be converted into fiat currency, both of which is totally and provably false. BAT can then be converted into fiat currency, e.g. Brave users, provided that they opt into Brave Rewards in the first place, receive BAT entirely risk-free. That you all it a “hoax” is laughable btw, especially from the user’s point of view. Brave also gets a small commission fee whenever a user donates BAT.įurther, Brave diversifies its income a bit via search deals or now via a VPN service, although these will never become the main income streams. The currency involved here is BAT, not USD, although BAT can always be converted into USD and has a USD equivalence.
Advertisers are running campaigns in Brave and pay the company for said campaigns.
Guardian uses the same technology for its standalone application, as highlighted in the company's Privacy you have no idea how Brave makes money. While it is necessary to buy a subscription for Brave VPN to use the service, Brave is using a pseudonymous digital receipt to provide access to the VPN service, and "randomized, rotated identifiers" when connecting to VPN servers.Īccording to Brave, this system provides access to the VPN "in a manner that does not require Brave or Guardian to be aware of a user's identity". Is Brave VPN bringing anything to the table other than what other VPN apps and services support as well? Brave Software highlights its unique authentication system. Some support the blocking of ads and trackers as well.
Popular VPN providers such as NordVPN or ExpressVPN are available for even less during sales, which seem to happen all-year-round. Mozilla VPN, a VPN solution by Mozilla that is powered by Mullvad, is available for half the price. Users of Brave may pay $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year to subscribe to Brave VPN Guardian Firewall is not available for Android officially, but the pricing matches the pricing of the standalone iOS version.Ĭompared to other VPN solutions, Brave VPN can't be described as a cheap option. Brave VPN is available as a commercial product only.
