In a future release, Brave will integrate an opt-in "pay-to-surf" program ("Brave Ads" and Basic Attention Token ) that will allow users to earn a share of ad revenue in crypto tokens for seeing privacy-respecting advertisements. Until mid-late 2017, the system formerly used Bitcoin. Donations are kept anonymous via zero knowledge proof protocols and are denominated in a cryptocurrency token known as " Basic Attention Token ". In addition to its privacy features, Brave offers Brave Payments, a contribution system that allows users to donate to websites and content creators on the web. Brave claims page load speeds faster than competing browsers due to its native ad and tracker blocking technology. Brave is officially available on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Brave has privacy features, including third-party ad and tracker blocking, fingerprinting protection, automatic HTTPS upgrades and Tor capabilities. If you opt in, you’ll contribute some anonymous data about searches and web page visits made within the Brave Browser (including pages arrived at via some, but not all, other search engines). Brave is an open-source, privacy-focused web browser created by Brendan Eich (CEO) and Brian Bondy (CTO) through Brave Software. The Web Discovery Project is a privacy-preserving way for you to contribute to the growth and independence of Brave Search.
