Brave is a web browser from Brave Software, founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich and Brian Bondy and based in San Francisco.
Brave Shields block ads, trackers and fingerprinting on every site without any setup, which makes many pages load faster. It is built on Chromium, so most Chrome extensions work. Brave Search is its own independent search engine. Leo is a built in AI assistant that summarises pages and answers questions. Users can opt in to Brave Rewards to see private ads and earn tokens.
Brave is free and runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. Brave VPN and Leo Premium are optional paid extras.
