Brave Browser is a free, fast, and secure web browser built on Chromium for all your devices. It comes with a built-in ad blocker that automatically prevents trackers and protects your privacy. This not only keeps you safe but also optimizes your data and battery performance for a faster, smoother browsing experience.
Brave is more than just a web browser — it represents a new approach to how the web should function. Its mission is to improve the web by offering users a safer, faster, and more efficient browsing experience, while supporting content creators through an innovative attention-based rewards system.
This browser was created by a team of privacy-focused, performance-oriented innovators, including the inventor of JavaScript and the co-founder of Mozilla. It begins by giving you back control. Experience unmatched speed, security, and privacy through tracker blocking. Earn rewards by opting into our privacy-respecting ads and helping publishers receive their fair share of internet revenue.
Browse Faster – Expect loading performance reaching up to 3x to 6x faster.
Watch Brave in Motion head-to-head with Chrome and Firefox. Brave loads pages three times faster out of the box with nothing to install, learn, or manage.
Switching is simple – Import and proceed to the place you left off
It’s easy to import your settings from your old browser. You can do it during the welcome tour or later through the menus. All of your old browser profiles will be listed automatically. You can import other browser data through the main menu item called “Import Bookmarks and Settings.”
Support your favorite websites with Brave Rewards.
Turn on Brave Rewards, gaining access to supported frequent-visit sites while earning BAT tokens for viewing Brave’s privacy-respecting ads and helping support preferred content.
Browsing online with Brave is free. With Brave Rewards activated, you can support your favorite content creators in an amount that suits you.
The Brave Browser can automatically distribute your contributions based on how much time you spend on sites. Or, you can choose to tip sites directly and even offer a fixed monthly tip amount.
This works while keeping your browsing history private. Your funds are delivered to site owners through an anonymous ledger system, ensuring no identification based on the sites you visit or support. Over 10,000 publishers and content creators have registered to obtain Brave Rewards.
Remember: these contributions are optional – browsing the web with Brave Browser is free.
