Esrac 12/24/21 12:24:52 PM #9:	Kavatar posted... What exactly is the bad reputation for? I haven't heard of anything. The CEO and founder of Brave is Brendan Eich. He got some flak years ago because he had donated to support California's Prop 8 back in 2008. It was a proposition for an amendment to the California constitution to ban gay marriage. It doesn't really have anything to do with the quality of the browser, but some people still hold a grudge. That's the complaint I usually hear anyway.

They also got caught inserting affiliate referral links into web URLs to skim referral money off of their users browsing. They also had the practice of pocketing BAT that was meant to be donated to content creators and never paying them out, while users were still obliviously donating to them. They also had an issue with their built in TOR where it was sending DNS requests directly to internet providers instead of them being redirected through the TOR network, completely erasing any privacy its users thought they had while browsing.

Esrac 12/25/21 11:14:01 AM #28:	VigorouslySwish posted... Does brave automatically give BAT or do I have to activate it You have to activate the Brave Rewards setting. You gain BAT by seeing their ads instead of the ads you'd usually see. However, their ads are in the form of little, relatively discreet pop-ups in the lower right hand corner of the window that you can ignore. You get rewarded a small amount of BAT whether you click it or not. You'd also connect your Brave browser to an Uphold wallet, which allows you to cash out your gains to your bank account when you choose to. The intended purpose for BAT is to use it as currency for tipping verified content creators through the browser, but you can choose to just take it for yourself. <cite>Esrac posted [p:961202121] in The reason...
