The released their roadmap 2.0 with all sorts of improvements. It's literally on the previous page in the thread.

In other news, it's now broken it's ATH. Lots of coins from the 2017-era have yet to do that. Feels good, man.

Brave is developing its own privacy-focused search engine​

It bought open-source engine Tailcat to power Brave Search.

Privacy-focused browser Brave is working on its own search engine. It has bought Tailcat, an open-source engine created by a team who worked on the defunct anti-tracking browser and search engine Cliqz, to power Brave Search. The company will allow others to use Brave Search tech to build their own search engines.
Brave says the search engine will provide an alternative to Google Search and Chrome. It's developing Brave Search using the same principles as its browser, which now has more than 25 million monthly active users.
The company says it's putting users first and it won’t track or profile them. Along with an ad-supported model, there will be a paid, ad-free option. Brave is working on bringing its own ad network to Search. Fellow privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo uses ads powered by Microsoft, albeit in a way that protects users' data.
Brave is committing to transparency with Search. It says it won't "use secret methods or algorithms" to deliver biased results. It plans to look into several open ranking models curated by the community to ensure a diversity of results and to prevent censorship.
Tailcat is built on an independent index. According to Brave, that allows users to have a quality search experience without impacting their privacy. Brave Search will also work with the company's browser to provide features such as personalization and instant search results, all without compromising user privacy, the company claims. Of course, you'll be able to set Brave Search as the default search engine in the Brave browser.
The news of Brave Search comes on the same that day Google announced plans to stop displaying ads based on your web browsing history. It will also no longer build tools to track user data across its various services.
You can sign up for a waitlist if you're interested in testing Brave Search.

I was going to use my BAT (Uphold wallet) with the TAP network to buy a gift card as I've done before, but it seems that went away, so the only way to get money is to transfer to bank account. Problem is, I don't like signing in with my bank ID and password through the Uphold platform. Should I be concerned? It's not a lot of money, but it's useless unless I can access it. Thanks in advance.

Just wait a few months unless you desperately need the money now. They are planning on creating their own decentralized exchange to where you could probably transfer your Brave wallet's BAT and exchange it for other cryptos and/or stablecoins like USDC. They may even have a shop for gift cards, etc.

With any luck it will be worth more than it is now as well.

I see their new interface already, and I can transfer to crypto, various national currencies, stablecoins, & metals (UPXAU, XAG, XPD. XPT). I'll just hang on to them, thanks for the advice.

Finally moved my lazy ass into setting up an Uphold account since I'm sitting on about $140 CAD. It was way quicker and easier to do. If you're sitting on a decent amount of BAT, just go ahead and get to it.

Possibly a dumb question (I don't really know anything about crypto) here that I didn't see in the thread: so I got my Uphold account verified and the money is in there, but do I need any other sort of external wallet? If it's just sitting on the Uphold site is that good enough?

Lots happening in the BAT cave. Normies are starting to use Brave more, big companies like Amazon/eBay taking notice for advertising benefits, new search engine dev talk - All in all it seems BAT is a coin that is gonna continue to grow, if for no other reason than Brave browser itself will continue to grow. I can legit see it being $10 in a year or two at this rate because everything seems to be moving exponentially faster with more people growing accustomed to crypto existing and decentralization becoming a new norm.

Either way I made a comfy profit between the time of making my previous post in this thread and now so I am happy. Onward, BATlads

Happy that my tablet received a payout this month instead of missing it like last month, but I think that could have been a side affect of not using Brave for very long at that point. So now the tablet is sitting at just under 5 BAT with my laptop as 4. The plan is to hoard it up on my tablet until I've got enough to set up a verified wallet and in the meantime donate laptop earnings to the Farms so Null can have all 8 quarters I earned. But I did notice jump a little while ago, I'm already at an estimated 1.750 on the laptop.

As a non American, how can I get access to the BAT in my Uphold account? I made 60 bucks from Brave and it'd be nice to be able to use it, but the most obvious one of transferring to a band account isn't possible where I live.

I don't deal in crypto otherwise, so I have no idea about this stuff. Can I open a Bitcoin wallet or something and transfer it to that for easier access?
