Improvement ideas for brave:

1)Brave News: Journalists who provide information may lack objectivity due to their financial interests. For example, as with Firefox, they can avoid blocking ads on YouTube because they are paid by Google. One solution could be to integrate public opinion via snippets of tweets into Brave News, providing a more realistic perspective of current events, aligning with experiments like IMDb’s for movies.

  1. Brave Rewards, as it stands, generate little BAT for users who view ads. It is therefore necessary to explore other avenues to increase BAT gains. For example, it would be possible to integrate the possibility of purchasing BAT directly with a bank card. Likewise, working with companies like Amazon could allow users to receive BAT by making purchases through specific affiliate links. Additionally, the introduction of personalized surveys and online market research in exchange for BAT would provide another source of revenue for users. Challenges and badges for specific actions, such as visiting defined websites or participating in online discussions, could also be introduced to reward engagement. Additionally, daily or weekly quests could be implemented, prompting users to perform certain actions such as reading blog posts or interacting with sponsored content. In-browser games to earn BAT and online courses paid in BAT could also be offered. Finally, a loyalty program rewarding regular use of the Brave browser and participation in testing new features could encourage continued and loyal adoption of the platform.

  2. Possible options for brave premium or free, you decide:

Partner with e-commerce sites to offer BAT (Basic Attention Token) discounts on purchases made through Brave.

  1. Offer special promotions where users could earn BAT by purchasing specific products or services.

  2. Reward users who donate to institutions such as the Hoover Institute, for example, in BAT.

  3. Reward users in BAT who purchase products, such as t-shirts, from a Brave store to be created.

  4. Reward BAT to users who activate paid features in a Brave web store, similar to the Chrome Web Store.

  5. Offer exclusive content for premium subscribers, with BAT rewards for users.

  6. Embed a Brave link on social media and YouTube in exchange for BAT.

  7. Add a price comparison for online purchases, with advanced features reserved for premium users.

  8. Offer premium themes and extensions to customize the look and functionality of Brave browser.

  9. Allow paid users to access advanced personalization settings and purchase gift cards with BAT.

  10. Remove the ID card requirement when purchasing cryptocurrencies in the Brave wallet, since identity is already verified during credit card payments.

A browser option for extreme privacy, including blocking non-essential scripts and tech giants.

Automate searches on Starpage for common topics, while Brave detects political or economic issues (given their interconnection, depending on the destination of public funds, these two areas come together), then it switches to Brave Search.

• Incorporate GPT4-O into Leo, as I always prioritize the best service.

• In search engine settings include GPT4-O, Perplexity, Midjourney and several other similar services.

• Integrate Brave Films, a platform bringing together all films, to solve the problem of navigation between different platforms. Instead of using DRM, offer the possibility of paying for films or subscription with BAT to replace Google’s DRM.

  3. Performance Mode: Automatically closes inactive tabs to optimize RAM and CPU usage, and disables animations to improve performance.

  4. Power Saver Mode: Adjusts page refresh rate and puts inactive tabs to sleep to extend battery life

  5. Work Mode: Integrates a task manager and blocks distractions to improve productivity.

  6. Family Mode: Filters inappropriate content and generates activity reports to monitor family members’ Internet usage.

  7. Travel Mode: Optimizes pages to reduce mobile data consumption and uses local cache to save data while roaming.

  8. Enhanced Security Mode: Integrates Mullvad Browser features while maintaining the speed of Chromium. Ideal for those visiting political or religious sites.

  9. Development Mode: Provides advanced tools for web developers and isolates sites under development to improve security.Users who pay brave premium fund a brave team that allows us to access popular sites (YouTube, Amazon, etc.) with little or no scripting to minimize tracking.

• Develop Brave Bank, Brave Maps with public transportation information and design similar to Google services, Brave Music, Brave OS, Brave Mail, Brave AI and BraveVPN covering all applications on the device.

• Contrary to the trend of competitors focusing on banning, censorship and propaganda, Brave takes its work in the opposite direction, emphasizing freedom, transparency and privacy.

Unsolvable dilemma:

Currently, I am applying for several positions by sending my CV on job search platforms. However, this practice compromises my privacy. Indeed, since they already have access to all my information, what is the point of paying for Brave VPN?

thanks in advance
