Our take
Brave, with a reputation as one of the more secure browsers on the market, is a free web browser that stands out for focusing on privacy-first features like ad- and tracker-blocking, but it also gives out rewards to users who choose to opt in to ads.
The company has gained popularity in recent years as it is constantly solving the irritating problems faced when browsing the web, finding new solutions to improve the web-surfing experience, such as recently blocking cookie consent notice popups.
Its momentum can be attributed to the fact, it claims, that it runs three times faster than Google Chrome and is widely available on different platforms, from Windows, Mac and Linux computers to Android and iOS mobile devices. Further growth is inevitable following recent funding, so it'll be intriguing to see what it does next.
