I never really looked into BAT and only use Brave on mobile (mostly then as its UI for its javascript switch is far better than dealing with uMatrix on firefox mobile).

I had no idea that the whole thing is yet another altcoin IPO with excellent marketing. They really must be laughing all the way to the bank...

One of the problems with BAT is that ERC20 doesn't scale so as they get more users, they will need to cut back on the frequency of payments. Also, a lot of that value is absorbed by the Ethereum network as transaction fees (GAS).

Isn't that a temporary problem though? With ETH 2 launching probably by the end of the year?

They can move across Omni, Liquid, Tron, EOS or any other more scalable chain or layer - it's what Tether has done

Brave is brilliant at mobile design is what they're brilliant at. I find Chrome and Firefox on Android unusable because of how much better browsing with Brave feels. Firefox Lite and Microsoft Edge get closer to the pleasure of using Brave on mobile but neither comes close to matching it since Firefox lacks the reliability of Chromium browsers (I know, boo choosing browsers based on usefulness) and Edge has a fetish for bloated sub-menus.
