How to use Brave & SteemConnect | Block ads and trackers

in #brave6 years ago (edited)

This isn't one of my usual posts but I wanna share a cool app.

  • Brave is a browser with an ad/trackblocker built in, so it's meant to be fast and secure (a relative term).
  • It's opensource - the business model doesn't rely on secretly tracking your data and selling it to advertisers behind your back.
  • For most average users, it's perfect for browsing websites like youtube or steemit 😉

One problem you might encounter is that this browser blocks nearly everything, including the cookies, but many websites (steemconnect) will not work when cookies are blocked.

Don't panic. All you have to do is allow cookies.

(and be selective about which sites you trust)

Certain websites will not work with encryption or adblock so you have to play around with the settings. It's a little more cumbersome than using chrome/firefox/safari/etc, but I like Brave because you get to choose what to block for each site.


As you can see I'm blocking ads on youtube and steemit.

I hate ads, especially when they're profiting off your privacy and data. Cookies aren't considered safe either but you can't block them all (in a perfect world I would love to).

I'm not dealing with the crypto/token part of this browser because that's probably another topic on its own.

Play around with it. I hope you have a wonderful browsing experience.

that's awesome man. i think it's got a lotta potential. it's just that it's so hard for anyone to change their daily browser 😆

coz they dont have information regarding to that.

Posted using Partiko Android

and here's my tiny little effort to spread the info :)

i am sometimes lazy to make all that adjustments, but that is what companyes are counting on. need to try this

Posted using Partiko Android

pls do! it's a great app 👍

Buenas noches aquí en Venezuela y buenos días es su país amigo @roundbeargames , deseando que se encuentre bien amigo, buena opción que nos presenta en su publicacion, ya que en realidad los anuncios son muy fastidiosos cuando uno está viendo o realizando algo . Que tenga un feliz día amigo .

thanks amigo. yes ads are super annoying! brave is almost another form of advertising without the videos/banners/trackers. so far i like what i'm seeing.
it's also got some crypto aspect to it which i didn't cover in this post because i haven't looked too deep into it yet. maybe i will later :)

우회를 하지 않아도 되는 좋은 웹툴이네요 ㅋ

네 심지어 토르도 포함돼있어서 원하면 우회할 수도 있습니다. 이건 보안상 위험할 수도 있어서 다루고 있지않지만 유용한앱임은 틀림없습니다 ^ㅅ^

Good morning my friend.... Thank you very much for the info...
I do not see your food where is?

ok maybe i should have some food for every post!

I used Brave for my youtube too.✌

Posted using Partiko Android

good to know!
i'd say it's perfect for youtube AND steemit ;)

Nunca habia oido hablar de ese navegador llamado Brave @roundbeargames pero de verdad que se ve muy interesante su utilización ya que nos permite bloquear los anuncios que no queremos ver y lo mejor es que según puedo leer este navegador tambien posee un token de verdad es una información que nos puede ser muy util. Gracias por compartirla con nosotros

i didn't think about trying it out until steemit announced they'll be having ads ;)
annoying videos/banners/trackers don't we hate them all..
thanks for coming and enjoy the new year!

the application can help for all, this information thanks a lot of friends, I can definitely try this application, @roundbeargames, ☺️

thanks :) pls try it out and play around with it. it'll be fun

ok, 👌

Wow, absolutely a good browser to use for watching YouTube videos. Thanks for the recommendation @roundbeargames bro 😀

yup i'd say it's perfect for youtube AND/OR steemit ;)

Good. Can go youporn, porntube, redtube without worrying anymore 😂

Posted using Partiko Android

some of them probably won't work with an adblocker but you should try :)
from what i hear it's great for browsing porn

I'm too lazy to switch my browser and I love my google chrome too <3 but i've been hearing about this brave a lot, need to check it out sometime.

lol yes it's hard for people to change browsers :)
i never thought about switching either until i heard about steemit having ads.
shock factors are needed

Brave is basically google chrome. It's built on Chromium. All the buttons, layout, settings, plug-ins are the same. In fact, all chrome plug-ins work on Brave.But you get better built-in Ad blockers, privacy protection and so on.

I will try it!
Thank you for information.

thanks. do give it a try and play around! it's a great app 👍

I have been thinking about Brave for a while but lacked the attention span to do anything abat it.

well here's your chance to try it out :)
but yea.. switching browsers is probably not easy.

저 궁금한게 있는데, 밑에 증인관련된건 저렇게 모아져 있는게 이유가 있을까요?

단순 투표장려입니당 ^ㅅ^
증인들은 개인적으로 맘에드는 분들이고요

Brave is a up and coming browser. It is privacy focused and it block ads by default. Furthermore it allows websites owners and visitors to monetize through the BAT tokens

Posted using Partiko Android

yes it's great :)
and even if the user's not interested in crypto, it's still a good browser

today I am a little late to comment on your posting, but my longing is happy soon after seeing the post you made today.

I will study with the connectivity you describe, thank you

thanks :) try it out!

광고 문제는 예전에도, 지금도, 앞으로도 핫하네요. 어쩌면 불필요한 소비를 줄이기 위해서 광고를 블럭해야 할지도요.

네 결국 브레이브도 일종의 광고시스템이라 할 수 있지만 비디오/배너/트래커 등등이 없어서 갠적으로 맘에 드는 모델입니다 ^ㅅ^
다 블럭하고싶어요 ㅋㅋ

Hi @roundbeargames how are you, after a while so lazy open steemit, but still curious..😄and about your post, thank you for sharing, because I use a smartphone, sometimes the application gets hot😄

thanks and try it out! :)

Heard about it but haven't started using. So used to Google chrome. 😋 I shall try soon....

Brave is basically google chrome. It's built on Chromium. All the buttons, layout, settings, plug-ins are the same. In fact, all chrome plug-ins work on Brave.But you get better built-in Ad blockers, privacy protection, etc... So its an easy switch :)

yes sorry for the late reply :)
it's never easy to change os or browser or anything of the sort.
but to me blocking ads on steemit was a big enough incentive to switch 😁

I used to use Brave on my phone. My main motivation was that the included blockers should decrease my data traffic. Ironically there was some bug that artificially increased my data usage 🤔
So in the end I had to remove it (since it ate up half of my monthly available data volume) and replace it Opera Mini, which also has built-in blockers.

Posted using Partiko Android

hmmm that's too bad. i also had some buggy things with my mobile version as well.
i guess it's still too new.

but anything to block stinc from profiting off our content is good 😁

Yes, so far I'm happy with Opera, but I will give Brave another try in the future since I prefer to use open software.

Brave Browser too but on my Smartphone and till now i don't have any issues with it and in my opinion and as per my experience i can say that it's fast. Stay blessed brother. 🙂@roundbeargames, I use

Posted using Partiko Android

yes so far i like it too. no major issues yet, other than having to adjust the settings for each website which is fine :)

Yes. Enjoy and have a great time ahead. 🙂

Thanks for the information, it is always good to see other alternatives.

yes alternatives are good! especially when it's blocking ads from a dictator :)

brother greeting and thank you very much for that information

thanks brother!
good day!

thats true even i also hate adds.. its make my mind hot when i am doing some thing important..

i like to use this browser ..

have a nice day.

yea man. try it out and see if you like it :)
block ads and stinc from profiting off our content.

Excellent choice. Great to see you growing the awareness online privacy too! Check this page out for reputable collection of privacy-focused tools! Brave is my default browser in phone for months and I'm a happy user.

thanks yo
i immediately decided to use brave after steemit inc announced the ads. and then i realize that a lot of people are already using it! even better!

Brave gained its reputation and huge userbase last year. However if you just want to block the ad while sticking to your own original browser, check out the best ad block uBlock Origin, available for famous browsers!

Thanks @roundbeargames,

I sent a 5 BAT tip to your youtube channel.

OH SHIT THANKS MAN!
i didn't even know i received it.
i think some other people did it too cuz i see 35 in my balance ㅇ_ㅇ
awesome 👍

I think the 35 is a grant like a delegation that you have to use by April. You should actually have 40 now.

ah i see. bat tokens are super confusing tho.
and i don't see any transfers ㅇ_ㅇ
btacfah_720.jpg
for now i'd say it's good as a browser. not as some confusing ui and tokens.

It may be a waste of time but you can register your youtube site as a publisher or creator and then receive tips.

Thanks my friend,,, for the Prizes,.
Isn't the round in the karma / karma.io application, a very large reword, a 9 year program, . I am there now.
