Brave

About

Brave is a browser built around privacy and speed. It blocks third-party ads on every website, including video, search, and social media ads, and it blocks cookie consent pop-ups. According to the site, this saves Wi-Fi bandwidth, mobile data, battery life, and CPU, and websites load 3x-6x faster. Brave also includes shields against tracking and fingerprinting, a Global Privacy Control that is on by default, and built-in security that works without configuration.

Brave offers related products as well. Brave Search is a private search engine with an AI-answer feature that does not profile users. Brave Firewall + VPN protects all apps on a device, with one subscription covering up to 5 devices across Android, iOS, and desktop. Switching is described as simple: download Brave and import favorites from your old browser.

Brave is available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports enterprise group policy installation. The site also mentions Brave Origin, a paid $59.99 US one-time-purchase version that removes features like Leo, News, Rewards, VPN, Wallet, and Web3 domains while keeping Brave's privacy and adblock features.
