The Brave solution is a win-win for everyone who has a stake in the open Web and who is weary of giving up privacy and revenue to the ad-tech intermediaries. Users can opt into privacy-respecting ads that reward them with Basic Attention Tokens they can redeem or use to tip or contribute to publishers and other content creators. Users get a private, speedier Web experience with much longer battery life, publishers increase their revenue share, and advertisers achieve better conversion. The Binance widget will be available on Brave’s mobile platforms later this year.īrave Software ’s fast, privacy-oriented browser, combined with its blockchain-based digital advertising platform, is reinventing the web for users, publishers, and advertisers. The Binance widget is enabled by default on the New Tab page, but users can hide it by clicking the menu at the top right corner of the widget, and choosing “hide Binance” from that menu. Disconnecting the Binance widget does not impact the user’s Binance account, and the Brave browser is not able to interact with a user’s account again until the user reconnects the widget. Users can easily disconnect their Binance widget by clicking “disconnect” from the dropdown menu in the widget. Users can access the or Binance.US (for US-based users, which currently offers the disconnected buy view but will soon feature an API) sites, and can trade cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Ripple, Litecoin, and many others supported by Binance. API calls will only be made into Binance if the user authenticates via OAuth and interacts with the widget. Because the Binance widget is built into the Brave desktop browser and is not a loaded iframe (remotely embedded document), it is designed to preserve the user’s privacy. Any assets held by Binance are enumerated at this time. Once successfully authenticated, the Binance widget is fully operable. Once this button has been clicked, a window appears, and the user is prompted to authenticate with Binance. In order to interact with their Binance account, a user must first connect the Binance widget to Binance, which is done by clicking the “Connect” button on the widget itself.
