About
Brave is a free, open-source web browser built on Chromium that blocks third-party ads, trackers, and fingerprinting by default. It includes built-in features like a private search engine, an AI assistant, and an optional VPN to protect all device traffic. Brave also offers an optional rewards program where users can earn cryptocurrency (BAT) by opting into privacy-respecting ads.
Problem
Mainstream browsers collect and sell user data while exposing users to invasive ads, trackers, and slow page loads.
For
General internet users who value privacy, faster browsing, and ad-free experiences
How it works
Brave blocks ads and trackers at the browser level by default, using its own independent search index and built-in security tools, requiring no extensions or configuration.
