Binance Widget Available to All Brave Desktop Browser Users

30, Apr 2020

The privacy oriented and crypto token powered Brave Browser just announced that in their latest desktop browser update (version 1.8) there is a built-in Binance widget available to all users (no need to install anything extra). The partnership between Brave and Binance has been announced last month and up until today the Binance widget was only available to the beta releases of the browser, but the latest official update brings the feature to all users. The integration of a widget that can be connected directly to a Binance user’s account makes it easier for anyone to access some basic and useful features of the crypto exchange directly from his browser without having to open the exchange every time.

The Binance widget is easily accessible from the New Tab page in the Brave desktop browser. The integration offers several functions for managing, buying, and trading cryptocurrency:

– Summary: Viewing Binance account asset balances.
– Deposit: Listing supported assets in the account, searching for specific assets, and viewing fiat value (Selecting an asset from this list will also reveal the deposit address in text and QRCode form).
– Convert: Converting from one asset to another (A conversion quote is displayed for 30 seconds; the Binance widget reflects the new balance in the “summary” tab soon after the conversion has completed).
– Buy: Buying and selling crypto assets (Purchases are reflected in the Binance widget shortly after they have concluded).

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. Once this button has been clicked, a window appears, and the user is prompted to authenticate with Binance. Once successfully authenticated, the Binance widget is fully operable. Any assets held by Binance are enumerated at this time. 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. API calls will only be made into Binance if the user authenticates via OAuth and interacts with the widget.

Users can easily disconnect their Binance widget by clicking “disconnect” from the dropdown menu in the widget. 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. 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.

The Binance widget should also be available on Brave’s mobile platforms sometime later this year.

List of the Larger Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Here is a short list of the bigger and more popular crypto currency exchanges out there that trade with not only Bitcoin, but Litecoin as well as many other alternative cryptos. Some of these exchanges are trading only between different crypto coins for example BTC for LTC, or DOGE for BTC and you cannot buy with money in them – Cryptsy, but others also trade with real money and you can both deposit and withdraw in cash as well as in cryptocurrency – Mtgox. There are even exchanges that only serve to connect the traders – Local Bitcoins.

Worldwide:
– Coinbase
– Cryptsy
– Bittrex
– Kraken

Europe:
– BitcoinDE
– BitStamp
– Bitcurex

Russia/China/Asia:
– Binance
– Bter
– OkCoin
– BTC China
– Anxbtc

Norway:
– Just Coin

Canada:
– Cavitrex

USA:
– Campbx

Israel:
– Bit2c

Others:
– Local Bitcoins
– Coinomat

Now, although most of these crypto exchanges are listed under different countries and just a few as worldwide, in almost all you can trade regardless of your location though for some there could be a language barrier if they were designed to serve only a local market and do not have an English version for example. The only more serious problem with some is the ability for you to withdraw cash from the exchange if it also operates with real money and not only trades with crypto coins. So do take some time and check them out and find which ones can be useful for your specific needs… there are of course more exchanges out there, so this is not a complete list, but more of a good starting point.
