The latest version the Brave browser enables users to donate money to their favorite YouTube stars using the Basic Attention Token (BAT) payment platform.
As the official announcement explains, the Brave browser automatically blocks all web ads — even those on YouTube — but users can contribute directly to participating publishers by adding funds to their browser wallet and distributing them to publishers based on time spent viewing website content or at custom amounts. Brave says that all data stays within the browser, so user information remains private.
Originally, this feature only worked on a domain-by-domain basis, but desktop browser version 0.19.95 adds support for users to send funds anonymously and directly to individual YouTube creators rather than the platforms that host their content. Unlike YouTube’s ad program, it will be available to all YouTube channels — not just those that hit a minimum view threshold.
