The last couple of months using BRAVE have been really good to me I cannot lie. In April I earned over 10 BAT something I had not done in a very very long time and this past month I earned another 6.95 BAT. Compared to how for the longest time it really seemed everyone if they were able to earn would max out in the 3 to 4 BAT range this was a noticeable change! Already this month my estimated BAT earning is at 3.165 BAT and we are less than 10 days in!
Unlike previous months Brave did not do a whole heck of a lot when it came to closing out the month with crypto or even blockchain-related updates. Instead and in my opinion more importantly they improved their browser product which if we are being honest is the most important thing since it makes the whole thing tick!
The first update is something that I am sure certain people are very passionate about as I have learned about people in tech and their computers that they like their things a certain way and if that gets messed with they really really do not like it. This update allows people to customize their tabs bar and instead of it being at the top of the web browser it runs vertically down the side as seen below. My brother who is a huge computer guy hates having his tabs at the top so I know at least for him he will absolutely love this development!
The second big announcement that came from Brave was that it released its Search API to developers and companies. Since Brave is the only privacy-preserving and independent search index in the West this is an announcement that is huge even if it does not get quite the attention that it should. With the release, Brave brings a new and much-needed competitor to Google and Microsoft Bing who currently have a stranglehold on the search API across the board.
Brave Search has grown to over 8 billion annualized queries and is currently the only global, independent alternative to Google and Bing. With over 60 million users worldwide and growing it can be assumed that this number will only continue to grow. It is important to note that this is all done with Brave Search users' privacy and data protected.
All users can get access to this data for free for up to 1 query per second and 2,000 queries a month. If you are looking to build an application there are several different pricing plans available to access the data broken up into Data for Search (deliver search results), Data for AI (train AI models for inference), and Data with storage rights (cache/store data to train AI models). These various plans allow developers to more accurately target what they are wanting to do with the API data and help lower the cost/make it more affordable.
While the first update is geared at the user interface and creating something that is further customizable. The second creates a new revenue for generating cash which due to Brave's structure helps fund/continue the high rate of ad rewards passed down to users. By creating a new source of cash to help cover operating costs and development returning 70% of ad revenue to users is something that can continue to be done by Brave. I would expect to see this month some more development along the blockchain/crypto front but that doesn't mean that the updates at the end of last month were not important!
