Privacy-focused browser and search engine

About Brave

Brave focuses on enhancing the web experience for users by providing a privacy-oriented browser and search engine. The Brave Browser blocks third-party ads and trackers by default, allowing for fast and private browsing. Brave Search serves as a private search engine, offering users a secure way to find information online. The company also features Brave Ads, which delivers advertising without the use of cookies, enabling advertisers to connect with audiences that are typically hard to reach. Users of Brave can earn cryptocurrency rewards for their attention to ads, while content creators can benefit from new revenue opportunities. Unlike other browsers and search engines, Brave prioritizes user privacy and offers a unique model that benefits both users and advertisers.
