Brave will then passively distribute that money for you.īrave also has a manual 'tipping' feature. This means instead of making a bunch of small individual donations to the dozens of websites and YouTube channels you use each month, you can just load money into Brave.

Then Brave will divide up your BAT and pay websites and YouTube channels each month based on how much time you spent using them.

Brave will keep track of how much time you spend on each website or YouTube channel.

You use money to buy Brave's Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency, and that BAT goes into your Brave wallet.

The big idea behind Brave is that instead of supporting websites by viewing their banner ads, you can pay them directly through your browser. What exactly is the Brave Browser?īrave is an open source browser with a built-in ad blocker.īrave was created by Brendan Eich - that same developer who created the JavaScript programming language back in 1995. The resources we get from Brave certainly help, but they don't even begin to cover the costs of running a nonprofit like ours. This is where a vast majority of our nonprofit's budget comes from. We transferred it into freeCodeCamp's bank account, where it will help us cover this month's server costs.īy the way, if you want to support freeCodeCamp, I recommend you donate to us directly. A quick note on my objectivityīefore anyone accuses me of using my influence to drive up the value of Brave's Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency: we sold all of freeCodeCamp's BAT before publishing this.

And our audience is mostly developers, who are much more likely to use the Brave Browser than a less-technical audience.

is one of the top 2,000 most-visited websites.

Unless you have a huge audience, Brave is unlikely to be a significant proportion of your income.

Every transfer has gotten from Brave since we signed up as a publisher (1 BAT = US $0.20)īut first, I want to temper your expectations. I'll also help you decide whether it's worth registering your website or YouTube channel as a Brave publisher.Īnd if you want to register so you can get paid, I'll show you how to do that, too.

In this article, I'm going to tell you about the Brave Browser and show how it works.

Over the past 18 months, our nonprofit has made nearly $2,000 from people who are using the Brave Browser to visit.
