In their own words
Brave Browser
Brave Browser is a free, open-source browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It blocks third-party ads and tracking, including video, search, and social media ads; Shields also blocks tracking scripts and ads that depend on them. Brave protects against browser fingerprinting and can upgrade webpages to secure HTTPS connections. Users may choose to view privacy-protecting ads and earn BAT through Brave Rewards, and browser ads can be switched off. Brave Search is the default for most new users and works in any browser, but disabling its search ads requires Search Premium. The browser is built on the open-source Chromium Web core under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Separate services include Search Premium at $29.99 per year, Talk Premium at $69.99 per year, Brave VPN at $99.99 per year, and Leo AI Premium at $149.99 per year. VPN, Talk Premium, and Leo Premium offer seven-day free trials. Brave says its VPN encrypts every connection, follows a no-logs policy, and receives independent software and infrastructure audits. Enterprise group policies can customize enabled and disabled features.
