What Does It Do?

A web browser used to browse the Internet.

One of the key differences of Brave is that it offers protection against advertising and tracking systems by default. Brave states that the Shields feature is used to block ads, trackers, cross-site cookies and fingerprint tracking. (brave.com)

“If you are using Chrome, I will not tell you to 'delete immediately' now.

Because Chrome is a very powerful browser.

But if you want to have a second browser on your computer, definitely check out Brave.

The biggest thing about Brave is privacy.

When you install the browser, ad and tracking blocking features are already included.

So you don't have to search and install a lot of add-ons.

You use Windows, you use Mac, you use Linux… no problem.

If you use Android or iPhone on your phone, Brave is there too.

Also, it is very easy to switch from Chrome. Brave allows you to import settings and some data from the old browser.

My suggestion is this:

Do not uninstall Chrome.

Install Brave.

Use side by side for a week.

Then decide for yourself which one you like more.”

Advantages

Ad and tracking blocking features included. There is support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. It is based on open source Chromium. (brave.com)

Disadvantages

The operation of some sites may be affected by aggressive ad and tracking blocking. Chrome may be more practical for people using Chrome-specific enterprise Google ecosystems.

Why Use?

For users who want a more privacy-focused browser experience.

Better for Whom?

Those who care about privacy, those who are disturbed by advertising and tracking systems, and those who want to try an alternative browser.
