About Brave Browser
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.
Brave identifies poor performing ads, or those that hinder user experiences. It then relies on its Basic Attention Token ecosystem to replace these ads with higher-quality ads, and then rewards the websites with it’s anonymous payment system.

What Makes Brave a Good Browser?
Brave’s two main features are its speed and its privacy. The most popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge) will be slower if they don’t block ads, and aren’t always configured with user privacy in mind. You can check out more great Android browsers here.
Is Brave Browser Free?
Yes, Brave is free to download and free to use. If you choose to keep ads hidden on certain sites you can make micro-payments to them in BAT, but other than that using Brave is free.
Is Brave a Secure Browser?
Unlike other browsers and the companies behind them, Brave is focused on not collecting user data, and prioritizing user privacy. One of its top priorities is to protect its users’ information and protect them from tracking and malware. Brave doesn’t collect or store your browsing data on its servers.
Brave lets you choose which ads and trackers it blocks. This ability to pick and choose which ads you see and which trackers you let run is what makes Brave a respectable choice for your browser. Rather than locking down your security on every website, even if it means losing functionality, Brave will let you allow the essential aspects of a page to load and run.
Your browser knows almost everything you do on the internet, as such it’s important to use a reliable and secure option rather than the mainstream products that most people use. Brave is an audited and open-source browser which protects your data on your device.
