I've been using Brave, but I shut off the Rewards junk.

Every option has serious trade-offs, so you're going to have to decide which are acceptable to you.

I use Brave, with the Rewards junk, and it has maintained its speed that every other browser I've used loses as it fills up with caches, history, extensions, etc.
Do you actually make anything of value?

I ran Rewards for a long time and basically made almost zilch and wasn't sure if it was something on my end or?

Is there some trick that makes it worthwhile?

The point of the Rewards system isn't to make users bank. It's to give users stuff they can give creators, so they don't get fucked as badly by the adblockalypse. Individual users aren't terribly valuable, ads make money due to sheer mass.
Thanks for that explanation, I'll look at turning it back on.
