The Brave web browser has been built specifically to stop big businesses tracking you wherever you go on the internet. One major way internet tracking works is through advertisements - a company like Google places advertisements on many websites, and each of those advertisements is a little spy for them, watching whenever you load that advertisement. So all over the web, on completely unrelated websites, you keep loading ads and other little bits of content from the same few tracking networks - and they know where you've been and what you've been doing.
So Brave blocks advertisements (and all other tracking scripts). But many websites rely on advertisements for their income, so this destroys the income for these websites. A new way of paying for web content is required, that preserves privacy. So Brave has built that also.
And now, Biblical Families can receive funding from this system!
Brave is very similar to Chrome, it's built on the same code base, but with Google removed and lots of privacy features added. It runs on desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android), so you can use it on all your devices - and support the ministry as you do.
Obviously Brave will be making some money from the whole process somewhere along the way too, but they're good to support. The browser was founded by Brendan Eich, who was the co-founder of Mozilla (Firefox), but was pushed out in 2014 because he had donated to an anti-same-sex-marriage lobby group back in 2012. So he is one of the very few conservative-minded people in the whole tech industry, it's good to support his work.

- If you download Brave via this link, and are still using it a month from now, Biblical Families will get the equivalent of US$ 7.50 as a commission.
- Brave Ads: When using Brave, you can opt to view small, non-intrusive, non-tracking advertisements from time to time, as small popups. Whenever you view an advertisement, you personally are paid 70% of the price of that advertisement. This adds up to a few dollars a month, depending on how much web browsing you do. You could fuss around working out how to withdraw that money yourself, but it's much easier to just send it as a tip to Biblical Families! While browsing this website, simply click the little "Brave Rewards" triangle in the top bar, and click "send a tip".
- Brave Rewards: You can opt to make a small monthly payment yourself, that will be directly passed on as donations to the websites you visit. You can disable contributions to all the websites that don't need your money, leaving only the quality ones. This is a way of easily donating to all the good small sites you use - including this one.
