Brave is a free and open-source web browser that prioritizes user privacy and security. It was created by Brendan Eich, a co-founder of Mozilla and creator of the JavaScript programming language. Brave blocks ads and trackers by default, improving browsing speed and protecting user data from third-party tracking. It also offers built-in protection against malware, phishing, and other web-based threats. Brave rewards users with its own cryptocurrency, called Basic Attention Token (BAT), for opting into ads and viewing them. This system aims to create a more equitable online advertising ecosystem that benefits both users and content creators. In addition to its privacy and security features, Brave offers a range of customization options and extensions, making it a popular choice among privacy-conscious users. Brave is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS platforms.
