Brave is a free, open-source web browser focused on privacy, security, and performance. It blocks ads and trackers by default and includes built‑in features like a VPN, crypto wallet, and AI‑enhanced search.

Use cases

  • browse the web without ads or trackers
  • protect my online privacy with built‑in shields and VPN
  • use a built‑in crypto wallet for Web3 interactions
  • search the web with a privacy‑first engine that doesn’t profile me
  • access Tor windows for anonymous browsing
  • earn BAT rewards by viewing privacy‑preserving ads

When to choose

  • I need a fast browser that blocks ads and trackers out of the box
  • I want integrated privacy tools like VPN, Tor, and a crypto wallet
  • I prefer an open‑source Chromium‑based browser with strong community support

When to avoid

  • I require a browser with extensive enterprise management or custom policy enforcement
  • I need a browser that relies on Google services for sync and extensions
  • I need a lightweight browser with minimal built‑in features
