2 comments Antonio Madeira 03 Oct 2016 0

Internet ads are getting a bit too much. They're annoying, intrusive and in most cases completely irrelevant. Well, the developers of the Brave Browser felt the same way and if there's a technology that can fix this broken industry is blockchain. Brave Browser, more than a simple ad-blocker, allows users to surf the web, while still allowing webmasters to make revenue. By integrating Bitcoin payments directly on the Browser, Brave allows users to tip their favorite websites if they have an active Bitcoin wallet to receive payments with. Everybody wins! 

Today we want to show you how to use Brave to surf the web seamlessly without putting up with ads and to tip your favorite websites for their hard work.
