Brave Browser Review

Brave is a free and open-source internet browser based on Chromium. Because Brave uses a Chromium platform, it could be a good choice for Chrome users looking to switch to a more private browser. It has built-in ad and tracker blocking which makes browsing with this already speedy browser even faster.

How Does Brave Work?

Brave’s core functionality is the same as most other popular browsers. It’s built on the same framework as Google Chrome so much of the functionality is the exact same. Brave uses normal browser functionality combined with it’s new way of thinking about advertising-supported websites. Its creators believe that the best way to improve the internet as a whole is to find a new way to support content creators outside of the traditional advertising model.

Brave encrypts your personal information in the browser and doesn’t send that information to its servers or store it in their databases. Brave uses an anonymous payment system called Brave Rewards to replace the ad revenue that websites would otherwise receive from your viewing their pages. This payment system won’t reveal which sites you support or who you are.
