skyfire Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Yes and I don't feel like going through KYC. Instead I just quit the brave. I don't see much use for the same.

The reason why I believe that they do that is that I have used the same keywords to search on Chrome and Duckduckgo, but the later gave me more good search results more than what I got from Chrome.

Yes that could be because of the possible data they already have, but I don't think it's kind of limiting though.
Justin11 Posted April 14, 2022 Posted April 14, 2022 Even Swagbucks have a search engine option via it's site. The first time I used the search button at the site I was rewarded some SP, which is their digital in-house currency.

That might be the case but it's the findings I was able to get and ever since then, I don't rely on Google 100% for my search engine.

Yes IP mapping is what I have seen so far. I have another observation that they keep eye on other sites than the saerch too. so google analytics fetch some of such data.

Perhaps, location plays an important role in earning BAT on Brave. When I started using Brave, I was earning 1-2 BAT every month, but these days they send just 0.25 or 0.5 BAT every month.
Head_Hunter Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 That's very poor, what wouldn't buy me cheesecake, already they know I wouldn't spend such kind of weird time using their browser and search engine without a reasonable reward for me.

BAT has very few value. plus in order to sell the BAT tokens you have to find KYC based exchange service. Which overall would cost you some money.

I wanted to study how that works for a while now but still lost at it.

Justin11 Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 Google analytics is very essential, I love tracking my website activities through it. Seeing EU coming up with a law to force it's ban doesn't look good to me, they got the reasons for that, I won't question their decision.
Head_Hunter Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 I tried to use a different search engines option today, I've fade up a little bit with Google, it's been me and Google for ages, I decided to use Bing today.
