Snippet from Wikipedia: Brave (web browser)

Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. based on the Chromium web browser. Brave is a privacy-focused browser, which automatically blocks most advertisements and website trackers in its default settings. Users can turn on optional ads that reward them for their attention in the form of Basic Attention Tokens (BAT), which can be used as a cryptocurrency or to make donations to registered websites and content creators.

According to the website PrivacyTests.org, Brave, along with Librewolf and Tor Browser, had the most privacy protection compared to other browsers.

Brave Software's headquarters are in San Francisco, California.

As of July 2024, Brave reported more than 68.2 million monthly active users, 28.5 million daily active users and a network of more than 1.6 million content creators.
