Brave Browser 1.83.120

Brave is a free, open-source web browser that focuses on privacy, speed, and user rewards. Founded by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, Brave is built on the Chromium web core but removes much of the Google-centric tracking and telemetry found in other Chromium-based browsers like Chrome.

Key features

• Brave Shields: This built-in feature automatically blocks third-party ads, trackers, and cross-site cookies without requiring additional browser extensions. This results in faster page loading times and enhanced privacy.
• Built-in privacy tools: Brave offers several privacy-enhancing options enabled by default or accessible in settings:
  • Fingerprinting prevention: It randomizes your browser “fingerprint,” making it harder for sites to track you.
  • HTTPS Everywhere: The browser automatically upgrades website connections to the more secure HTTPS protocol when possible.
  • Tor private windows: Brave has an integrated feature for private windows that routes browsing through the Tor anonymity network to mask your IP address.
• Brave Rewards: This optional program offers an alternative to traditional advertising.
  • How it works: Users can opt-in to view privacy-preserving ads, which appear as push notifications or on the new tab page, rather than intrusive banner ads.
  • Basic Attention Token (BAT): Users earn a cryptocurrency called BAT for viewing these ads. The BAT can then be used to tip content creators, redeemed for gift cards, or stored in a crypto wallet.
• Brave Search: An independent, privacy-focused search engine that can be set as the default within the browser. It does not track users or their search queries.
• Built-in crypto wallet: Brave Wallet is a self-custody cryptocurrency wallet built directly into the browser, eliminating the need for extensions. It supports a wide range of crypto assets and decentralized applications (DApps).
• Brave Talk: A video conferencing tool built directly into the browser for private, unlimited calls.
• Brave News: A customizable, private news feed on the new tab page that is free from tracking.
• Firewall + VPN: Brave offers a premium, subscription-based VPN service that encrypts all internet traffic on a user’s device, not just within the browser.
