Brave Browser is the most reliable and popular ad-supported ad-blocker browser ever. 😁👍 This browser blocks ads while also pushing ads. 😁👍 We are still the product, I guess. What do you think? 😄☀️ Or am I dumb because I didn't utilize the compensation system due to paying attention to the ads they promoted? It's called BAT (Brave Attention Token) airdrop. What do you think? 😄☀️ Or, maybe because I didn't take a look at the settings but just installed and used it as it was, then blamed Brave Browser for my settings? Hmmm... 🤔
