Our take

Brave, one of the most secure browsers on the market, has quickly built a reputation as a privacy-first champion. Free to use, it stands out for its commitment to blocking intrusive ads and trackers, while also offering a unique twist: users who opt-in can earn rewards by viewing privacy-respecting ads.

The browser's popularity has surged, particularly in 2024, as it continues to tackle the everyday annoyance of web browsing. One of its latest innovations, blocking cookie consent popups, has struck a chord with users fed up with endless prompts.

With nearly 80M monthly active users, Brave is proving that privacy and speed can go hand in hand. The company claims it's three times faster than Google Chrome, and it's available on a wide range of platforms - Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. With its recent influx of users, it'll be exciting to see what's next for the browser.
