Browse Faster

Brave blocks trackers and intrusive ads that can slow you down on the web.

Browse Safer

Brave keeps you and your information safer, effectively shielding you from 3rd party tracking and malvertisement.

Browse Better

With Brave, you can choose whether to block ads, see ads that respect your privacy or contribute to sites directly. Either way, you can feel good about helping fund content creators.

Browse Safer with Brave on Your Side

At Brave, our goal is to block everything on the web that can cramp your style and compromise your privacy.

Brave redirects sites to HTTPS

We've integrated HTTPS Everywhere into every Brave browser to make sure you are always moving your bits across the safest possible pipe.

Brave blocks Tracking Pixels and Tracking Cookies
