About

What is Brave Browser & Search Engine?

Brave Browser & Search Engine offers a fast, private, and secure web browsing experience across desktop and mobile devices. It features an integrated ad blocker, tracker blocker, and fingerprinting protection, leading to significantly faster page load times and data savings. The browser also includes Brave Search, an independent and private search engine that doesn't profile users, and a built-in AI assistant called Leo AI for generating content and answering questions. For enhanced privacy, Brave offers a Firewall + VPN that protects all apps on a device, not just the browser. Users can also opt-in to Brave Rewards to earn Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) by viewing privacy-preserving ads, which can then be used to support content creators or for other rewards. Brave is built on the open-source Chromium Web core, ensuring a familiar yet more secure and private browsing environment.
