In recent days people are interested to give much more importance for privacy issues whether it is personal or professional. Users can raise this type of questions like , Is someone tracking my searching content or not ?? Why i’m getting this type of Ads in my browser ?? While going to surfing the content in these browsers what type of privacy protection we get ??

These are the things which are going to be helpful to setup a default browser :

1. Sync

2. Security

3. Performance Test

4. Battery Test

5. Platforms

6. Additional Features

Getting started with Synchronization :

Just like passwords chrome uses our google account to sync the data between devices….

and it happens simultaneously in the brave does come with the sync option but it is disabled by default one can go into settings and create a sync code to link two or more devices depending on your understanding this could be a good thing or time consuming.

Security :

Google chrome comes with the standard protection enabled that which warns you about the phishing websites, harmful downloads and extensions. chrome also comes with the extended protection which brave does not..

Brave by default also comes with the standard protection…..

Coming to the password storage chrome uses our google account to save and the sync passwords between the devices…And the password compromise which is the way that brave does not offer it .Chrome see the websites that have breached your password and immediately you can get a link to change the password and it comes with safety check

Brave allows you to saving and syncing passwords and coming to the safety check that where you can check for software updates, harmful extensions and protection status of the browser..

One of the security process is the app that also comes wit https enforcer the tool forces websites to use https which encrypts the data insert on the website…

Chrome does not comes with this feature but it has some extensions like HTTPS Everywhere on chrome web store that allows you to do that…

Performance Test :

Like if you search the content directly in chrome it comes slower compared to incognito window…while brave automatically blocks ads which helps the browser to be faster…

chrome loads all the content on the webpage which takes sometime….

Battery Test :

Suppose if you want to do battery test firstly this test can be performed by going to youtube and playing a video on full volume in both browsers and checking the beta consumption chrome showed 1% battery usage while brave usage is 2% here this sounds goes to chrome.

Coming to android suppose if you played a different video on both browsers chrome won the round it consumed less than 1% battery..

while brave consumed 1% of the battery…

Platforms :

The only differance is chrome os which is available on both desktop and mobiles for google chrome is available on chrome os.Most of the interfaces are driven by chrome os..

Additional Features :

Both browsers are developed from open source project like chromium you can install chrome extensions in brave browser…

Coming to the strength and uniqueness of brave browser is “Brave Rewards” the browser deals with the advertisements and rewards. Brave Rewards is built on the Basic Attention Token (BAT), a new way to value attention, connecting users, content creators, and advertisers.(The BAT utilizes the Ethereum blockchain and a specialized web browser known as Brave. The BAT token is used as currency on this platform.

When it comes to memory use Brave uses less memory per tab than Chrome…

And brave browser blocks the webpages on youtube..It simply different way of browsing the internet…

Both supports light and dark modes in desktop and mobiles..But brave supports next level by often night mode on mobile apps….

Brave users who agree to receive ads will be rewarded with BATs and the tokens can be passed to publishers as support for their sites.

Users can decide before switching the browsers :

Brave browser is private and faster browser for privacy wanted people choose brave could be the next thing..

Chrome Browser is a free web browser.For those who want the fast updates and like the performance of the battery google chrome suits better….

Choose which is better for you…

Thank You…
