Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. It is based on the Chromium web browser and its Blink engine. Brave Software was co-founded by Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla, the organization behind Firefox.
Here are some key features of the Brave browser:
- Privacy Focused: Brave is designed to block website trackers and remove intrusive Internet advertisements. The browser also gives the option to opt into its privacy-respecting ads that pay users in the form of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT).
- Basic Attention Token (BAT): This is an Ethereum-based token that is integrated with the Brave browser. Users can earn BAT by opting into Brave Ads and can spend these tokens on premium content within the Brave platform.
- Speed and Performance: By blocking unwanted content such as ads and trackers, Brave is able to load web pages significantly faster than other browsers.
- HTTPS Everywhere: Brave includes a built-in functionality of HTTPS Everywhere, which ensures that connections to websites are always secure whenever possible.
- Privacy Tools: Brave provides various privacy tools such as private windows, private windows with Tor for enhanced privacy, and fingerprinting protection.
- Compatibility: Since Brave is based on Chromium, it is compatible with all extensions and web apps available in the Chrome web store.
- Web3 Support: Brave includes a built-in crypto wallet for Ethereum, enabling the use of decentralized apps, or Dapps, directly in the browser.
