The Main Query …
The first time I heard about the Brave Browser, one question popped into my head: Who’s behind it?
I’m not using tools created by people I do not trust.
2 clicks, a Google search and the Answer was beautifully unveiled: Mr Brendan Eich, the Creator of JavaScript language.
Ok, we’re safe! A kind human being!

Why I switched to BRAVE Browser?
1. Trust
If you trust something you’re going to embrace it, if not, you’re going to reject it.
2. Benefits
2.1 You can make money, using Brave. Easy!
“Users [have] the choice to turn on optional ads that pay users for their attention in the form of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) cryptocurrency”. #wikipedia
With Brave, you can choose to see ads, and they split the earnings with you! You see an ad, they make money and so are you.
Classified as Honest, Unselfish tactic.
You surf the web anyway, so why not make some money meanwhile?
Check My Balance –I started few days ago-:
[UPDATE Brave Wallet 29.12.2021 ↓]
[update] BAT disappearing from Brave Token Balance
Yes, I experienced that too, but don’t panic: reappeared in a short time: after 1-2 days.
[update] BAT transferred into Gemini Wallet
No issue here.
2.2. Brave is a privacy-focused browser. Yes, PRIVACY!
“ which automatically blocks online advertisements and website trackers in its default settings.” #wikipedia
And they have a cute message displaying while doing it: “we’ve blocked ..[]. trackers and other creepy things”.

2.3 Speed
“With 3x faster page load times than Google Chrome, 33% less memory usage, and up to one hour more battery life, Brave is the browser that’s built to perform.” Source

2.4 Offline Saved Your Favourite Music in a List
If you have Brave Browser installed on your phone, and you access Youtube and listen to a song, you have the option to add that song to a Brave List and listen to it later, offline: during a flight, on the subway … Plus, no ads like on Youtube. → Ultimately COOL!
3. To Conclude
TRUST – PRIVACY – MONEY – SPEED – OFFLINE YOUTUBE MUSIC
That is Brave Browser!
Heavy Arguments I’d say! Heavy enough to make the Switch.
You can download it from here.
Great browser !!
indeed!
