What Is Brave Browser?
Brave browser or just Brave is available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux. It is an open source (free) privacy focused internet browser, out of the box Brave will block advertisements & website trackers, automatically upgrade HTTP to HTTPS, and won’t collect our data.
As with most modern browsers it uses a Chromium back end (Used in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Amazon), as well as privacy features Brave offers users the ability to earn BAT via in browser ads and tips from users to creators.
Brave’s market share is 0.05% (56.2 Million monthly users), this is a tiny number next to Chrome’s 77.03% but considering Safari is in 2nd place with only 8.87% market share it’s not terrible.
What Is BAT
BAT is based on the Ethereum ERC-20 standard. Blah blah blah, technical jargon. Basically BAT is a cryptocurrency, if you want to know more about crypto read our guide Should I Accept Bitcoin.
Their are 2 different types ways to earn money from Brave
- Brave Users: By ‘surfing’ the internet adverts brave will display adverts via a popup or notification. Earning a small amount of BAT for every advert
- Brave Creators: Website owners can verify their site with Brave which allows Brave User to tip them BAT via the browser.
How Many Creators Are There
As of 2022 there are 1.7 m creators using Brave.
These creators can publish content on various platforms. YouTube currently has the most creators with 800k with Twitter, Twitch, Websites, and Reddit with 220k to 120k each.
Once we have let Brave know where we publish, they will allow their browser users to tip either once or monthly. Brave creators are easy to spot while using the brave browser to the right of our URL we can see the BAT icon with a blue tick. This means we can tip this website using BAT we have either bought or earn via ads.
How Much Can We Earn Using Brave
A brave browser user could earn an extra £4 a month just from adverts.
Brave doesn’t publish how much creators make from tips. If you research this, you will find some creators saying some of their content doesn’t earn and others say they do. Given that anyone can sign up to be a creator, we don’t need to tell you there are probably quite a few small Reddit accounts posting pancake memes who don’t earn from it.
In the future, we are going to look into either updating this post monthly with our tip stats or posting monthly about all of our earning stats. Let us know what you would prefer.
