Browse and Earn: My List
Web 3.0 has made it easy to earn income from many activities that we perform regularly. One of such income sources are the Browse-and-Earn apps. Browse-and-Earn apps are basically those web 3.0 tools that monetize your daily browsing activities in one way or the other.
This article is basically just a list of all the Browse-and-Earn projects that I have tried at one time or the other. I still use some of them, I lost interest in some of them and some of them are now dead projects.
This is my Browse-and-Earn list
1. Decentr Browser: A web 3.0 browser where your daily browsing earns you Personal Data Value (PDV). This PDV is converted to DEC tokens which are automatically paid into your browser wallet every month. The DEC token exists on a Cosmos-based blockchain and also has an Ethereum-based version of the token. DEC is trading on Osmosis DEX and some other CEX. The project has great potential and additional revenue streams are mentioned in the project road map.

2. Slice Extension: A browser extension that displays ads within web pages as you browse. You earn for each ad that you view. Earnings are given in SLICE, an internal currency used on the platform. The Slices can be converted to either cash via Paypal or Bitcoin using lightning network. It is a new project and is still in beta stage. I noticed that when using the slice extension, you get more ads and earn more when watching videos on Youtube.

3. Swash Extension: A browser extension that monetizes your browsing data. Payment is given in SWASH tokens. SWASH tokens are available on Ethereum, Gnosis and Polygon blockchains and are trading on a number of CEX and DEX. Withdrawals can be made to your web 3.0 wallet once you have accumulated up to 10 SWASH tokens. This is a good project with a good team.

4. Cirus Extension: A browser extension that monetizes your browsing data. Payment is given in CIRUS tokens which are available on Ethereum and Polygon network. The token is trading on CEX and DEX. However, withdrawal of tokens from the browser extension is not yet possible. Nice project but the development is too slow.

5. Presearch Extension: A browser extension that monetizes your search queries. It is a monetized version of Google Search. Payment is given in PRE tokens which exists on Ethereum and Presearch Mainnet networks. The PRE token is trading on CEX. Withdrawal of earned tokens is currently possible if you have accumulated up to 1000 PRE tokens in your account.

6. Brave Browser: A web 3.0 browser that allows you earn by viewing ads. Payment is given in BAT tokens. BAT tokens exist on Ethereum, BSC and other networks. Accumulated earnings are transferred to our wallet once a month. The project requires a KYCed wallet in order for you to withdraw your earnings

9. Abaqoo Browser: A mobile browser that monetizes your browsing data and also allows earnings from ads. Earnings are in US dollars and can be withdrawn using Paypal or giftcards when a minimum threshold is reached. The earnings are quite good if you are a consistent user.

11. Surfe.be: A browser extension that lets you earn from ads, visiting websites and viewing videos. Earnings are in US dollars and can be withdrawn to different wallets (FaucetPay, Payeer, etc) once you have accumulated up to $0.03.

Conclusion
There are still some other browse-and-earn options I have come across but haven't tried out yet. I may write another article covering those ones when I eventually get to try them out.
Note: Some of the project links given above are affiliate links which means that I, you or both of us may get extra bonuses if you sign up to the project using those links.
