Summary

  • Brave is a privacy browser built on the back of Google’s Chromium engine, described in the article as a “glorious piece of engineering”.
  • Brave takes the positive aspects of Chromium, such as its speed, UI and additional features, and builds on them.
  • The browser removes all Google-related services that track users and collect data, instead opting to offer its own, anonymous search and browsing options.
  • One of the main problems with Chromium is that any browser built on it defaults to enabling the transmission of user data to Google.
  • Brave offers its own rewards system to replace this data collection with a user opt-in, rather than opt-out, function.
  • The article concludes that Brave is a browser that takes the best parts of Chromium and expands on them to offer increased user privacy.
