Description
You end up piling on ad-block extensions just to browse in peace, and over time the browser gets slow and bloated. Brave builds this into the browser itself: ads and trackers are blocked by default (it calls this Shields), so pages are faster and cleaner with no extensions, using less data and battery along the way.
Built on Chromium, Chrome extensions and web compatibility carry over, so switching from Chrome costs almost nothing, while it goes further against fingerprinting and cross-site tracking. Cross-platform, core open source.
Blocks ads and trackers: Built-in Shields blocks ads and trackers out of the box, no extensions needed.
Chromium-based: Chrome extensions and web compatibility carry over, near-zero migration cost.
Less fingerprinting: Resists browser fingerprinting and cross-site tracking to cut profiling.
Faster and lighter: Loading fewer ads and scripts means faster pages and lower power and data use.
Cross-platform open source: Desktop and mobile, with core code open source.
