In 2016, a new browser called Brave emerged as an option to Google Chrome that prioritized user privacy. Brave is built on Chromium, but it removes all of Google’s code that could potentially compromise users’ privacy. The final product is a browser with the same look and feel as Chrome but improved security and privacy protections when browsing the web.
Introduction Unlike the majority of browsers out now, Brave doesn’t rely on data collection to make money. Brave only does it in aggregate form from its users when it comes to collecting data, and the company’s advertising approach is cantered on protecting users’ privacy. Our goal in this Brave review is to find out if this brave browser review truly is as secure as its name suggests. Besides being a private browser, Brave has built-in support for several capabilities that can only be added to other browsers via extensions. Ad blockers, an HTTPS Everywhere option, and bitcoin wallets are available. Having extra functionality built into the browser saves resources that the browser’s extensions would otherwise require.
Evaluation of the Brave Web Browser This browser and search engine combo does the essentials well, including its own search engine (also named Brave) and the option to switch to one of six others. It claims to be faster than Chrome and has greater privacy protections than Firefox, although the changes are barely noticeable. While we had no significant problems with Brave, we weren’t blown away by it. If you enjoy how it looks and works, there’s no reason not to make this browser your primary option.
