Secure and fast Internet browsing made possible with this web browser that prioritizes privacy, security and ad blocking by stopping trackers.

Brave Browser is an Internet browser created to prevent trackers, ads and inappropriate content. It does so by sharing less information with online advertisers and ad networks.

The layout and usage of Brave isn't very different from other web browsers like Chrome or Firefox. If you're used to Google Chrome, then Brave is an easy switch as its layout and settings are very similar.

With the huge increase in different types of ad trackers and sophisticated data collection of large corporations like Google, Facebook and Amazon, it may be necessary to add some privacy protection to your web surfing with browsers like Brave.Blocking ads and improved overall privacy while browsing

Brave does many things differently. For one, Brave will prevent advertisements from being displayed in your viewing area, instead opting to move them to different locations.

Brave Browser is optimized for using online shopping and payment services, all of which can be directly configured in the program settings.

The usage of HTTPS Everywhere is an excellent feature which will automatically direct your web browser to use the secure version of a web site, even if the web site has never converted over from the insecure HTTP protocol to HTTPS. This is an excellent initiative to completely secure web browsing.Protection from Big Tech

The Brave project also attempts to move away from the so-called Big Tech giants and uses alternative services such as search and video. It does a great job at keeping online social media like Facebook from following you around the web as well as Google's services following you from site to site.

With Brave Browser, you're also pretty well protected from other types of trackers like thos from big advertisers, online shopping sites like Amazon and other intrusive advertising features.

In its mission to "ditch Big Tech", Brave has developed its own search engine, has free online video and telephony services and customized news feeds breaking away from the largest aggregators and data collectors.

Brave has also done away with cross-site trackers, cookies, fingerprinting, invasive advertisers and has also employed the Tor Network. The latter allows for completely anonymous web browsing.

To browse the web with Tor on Brave Browser, simply open a new Private window with Tor. This will open up a new incognito window and connect to the Tor network. When finished, a green notice will appear in the upper-left corner signalling that the connection has been established.

One really cool feature is the option to automatically redirect away from Google AMP pages to the original publisher's site. A really neat and useful feature.A stable and fast browser based on the same code as Google Chrome

As Brave is based on the Chromium project, the same as Google Chrome, it's open-source, meaning anybody can obtain the code and inspect it.

One of the big advantages of having such a huge open-source base is its continued democratic development, speedy releases and identification of bugs and other issues encountered.In closing

The browser has a few extra unique features that take advantage of newer technologies we've not seen on other browsers: the Crypto wallet, Brave Rewards and more.

In the end, Brave is a pretty good web browser which puts a little bit more thought into user privacy than other browsers.
