About Brave
Brave is a web browser built on Chromium that blocks third-party ads, trackers, and cookie-consent pop-ups by default. It includes built-in Shields against tracking and fingerprinting, on-by-default Global Privacy Control, and automatic upgrading of webpages to secure HTTPS connections. The browser is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and supports nearly 160 languages.
The company also operates Brave Search, a default search engine for new Brave users that serves results from its own independent web index rather than relying on other providers, and is also accessible from other browsers at search.brave.com. Additional products include Brave Firewall + VPN, a subscription service covering up to five devices across desktop and mobile, and Brave Wallet, which can store BAT (Basic Attention Token), a digital asset used in the optional Brave Rewards program for viewing privacy-protecting ads and tipping content publishers.
Brave is made by Brave Software Inc., an independent, privately-held company, and its client code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. The browser and Brave Search are free to use, with paid subscription options available for services such as Brave Talk Premium and the Firewall + VPN. Business-facing offerings include Brave Ads, a Search API, and enterprise group policy installation for organizations.
