Brave is a free, open-source web browser built on Chromium with privacy protections enabled by default, including ad and tracker blocking, fingerprinting resistance, and an optional Tor mode. It also ships an independent search engine, VPN, crypto wallet, and BAT rewards system, and is available on desktop and mobile platforms.
Use cases
- browse the web without ads and trackers
- block youtube ads
- protect against browser fingerprinting
- private browsing with tor
- replace chrome with a privacy-focused browser
- sync bookmarks across devices privately
- search the web without being profiled
When to choose
- you want ad and tracker blocking built in with no extensions or configuration
- you want a chromium-based browser compatible with chrome extensions but without google background connections
- you need a browser across linux, macos, windows, android, and ios with private sync
When to avoid
- you rely on deep chrome/google account integration and chrome sync
- you prefer a minimal browser without built-in crypto wallet and rewards features
- your workflow depends on extensions that conflict with aggressive ad blocking
