Picture this: you see an urgent news story about something which directly affects you. Maybe it’s a dangerous storm, or perhaps it’s a bad traffic accident which will make you late for work. You click on the article, desperate to learn more. And then you’re bombarded by so many ads that you can’t see anything at all. There’s a good chance you’ve already experienced something like this, and you know it’s frustrating and stressful. Luckily there’s a solution. In today’s Brave browser review, you’ll learn all about Brave – an incredible new platform which eliminates those irritating ads while rewarding quality content.
The Brave browser is perfect for reading news stories or visiting social media sites, since it kills pop-ups or bloatware. By removing these nasty forms of advertising, you’re able to get the information you need, without getting overwhelmed by sketchy ads.
However, unlike a traditional ad blocker, Brave lets you reward good content or help sites you like.
The browser has a special feature where you consent to watching pre-approved ads on certain sites you already enjoy.
The catch?
Both you and the site owner get paid for doing so. Unlike traditional ad networks, you’re getting paid too. As such, it’s a win-win for everyone.
Brave Browser Review (My Thoughts After One Month)
I started using Brave over a month ago, and it’s awesome.
Using this browser makes it easy to visit news and entertainment sites, something which used to be frustrating due to the sheer amount of pop-up ads and autoplay videos.
Case in point, here’s a comparison between viewing CNN on Google Chrome, versus looking at the site on the Brave browser.
(This Ad Cuts Off Everything Else On The Page)
Google Chrome opens the page to a MASSIVE banner ad which cuts off the entire story.
Then, a little further down, you’re greeted with an autoplay ad which blasts sound.
(There’s A Video Ad Here, Plus More Ads Below)
Additionally, the actual news article takes a good one minute to finish loading, all because Google Chrome must process dozens of ads first.
Now here’s what that same article looks like on the Brave browser.
(No Pop-Ups Or Video Ads, Just Content)
No big sidebar ad, and no pop-up either. In fact, the Brave browser blocked every intrusive advertisement on the entire site.
(This Single Webpage Has 32 Ads And Trackers On It, That’s A Lot!)
However, if you wanted to, you could tip CNN (or any other site) with Brave tokens. Essentially supporting them for their quality content.
This is a great way to support your favorite content creators, without having to wade through a sea of site crippling advertisements. Personally, I think Brave is a great alternative to Google Chrome, and I love how the tipping system allows you to support websites (if you want) while still avoiding pop-up ads or autoplay videos.
If you’re tired of intrusive advertisements and want a faster, better way to surf the web, use Brave.
